The Recording Industry Association of America is reportedly stepping up the PR bit of its litigation campaign against illegal downloaders by targeting a number of different suspected copyright violators in any one area at same time - the idea being that if a number of individuals within one region are all sued at the same time it will make the threat of legal action seem much more real for people living there. To that end seven people have been targeted in South California, following sweeps on suspected downloaders at Columbia and Princeton universities. As previously reported, the RIAA has now sued in excess of 9000 suspected downloaders.
