RIAA Again Sues... John Doe

The RIAA has sued another 532 file sharers (uploaders they say averaged 800 or so songs) in either NY or Washington (according to Ted Bridis/AP). They now have to sue John Doe, and then subpoena personal information of users they believe file share, under court review, after losing last month the right to subpoena without oversight, directly from the ISP.

Ed Lee, Lawrence Solum and Ernie Miller comment on the success these suits bring (or don't).

Meanwhile, other business models that consider people's digital media desires are bubbling, including Diesel's Mix CD service photos here and here (via Joe and Ernie).
