RIAA puts more 'John Does' in the dock

The RIAA filed a new round of lawsuits against 744 people it alleges used online file-sharing networks to illegally trade in copyrighted materials. The suits, filed in courts across the country, cover "John Doe" defendants whose true identities are unknown, also suits against people who were identified but did not agree to an out-of-court settlement with the RIAA.
The individuals it sued used a variety of Internet platforms, including Limewire, Grokster, Kazaa and eDonkey, to swap songs. I wish I could find what I had read about smaller content not setting off flags, but its lost in the chasm of information.
Anyway, this was what I meant.
