He adds:
These are referred to in peer to peer ("p2p") file sharing actions brought by the RIAA. Although some have referred to these cases as "music downloading" cases, I find that terminology inaccurate. Based upon the cases I have seen, the RIAA does not know of any specific conduct by the defendant, or of any specific instances of copyright infringement. The complaint simply alleges that the RIAA 'believes' the defendant has engaged in 'downloading, distributing, and/or making available for distribution', and attaches (1) a short list of songs which the RIAA has itself downloaded and (2) a long list of songs which were found in a shared files folder on the internet, which is associated with an IP address that is associated with the defendant. The complaints do not refer to any known acts of copying. Accordingly, I prefer to term the cases 'peer to peer file sharing' cases, since that is what they are, at most.
