RIAA Begins Identifying Targets In Copyright Suits
By Mark Hachman
The Recording Industry Association of America has started making available the names of potential defendants in hundreds of subpoenas the organization has begun filing with individual ISPs. The list, available online through individual court documents available through the government's PACER electronic filing system, includes defendants who use Comcast, Charter Communications, SBC, and other carriers.
According to court documents, the RIAA began collecting information on individual users who allegedly began illegally sharing copyrighted files around June 26 or 27, a day or two after the RIAA issued a public warning that it would target individual users. In each subpoena, the individual's username and IP address are named, as well as the time and date the alleged violations were discovered as well as several selected songs from RIAA-affiliated artists.

Among the most cited songs and artists that users have allegedly infringed include Busta Rhymes "Pass The Courvoisier", U2's "I Still Haven't Found (What I'm Looking For)", Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher". Artists such as Nas, Marvin Gaye, Ludacris, Michelle Branch, and Avril Lavigne are often frequently cited amongst the songs allegedly traded.
