By

The music industry has announced a fresh series of legal actions against 784 people they suspect of illegally downloading songs from the internet. The action is brought by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), bringing the total number of actions to nearly 11,000.

Police in 12 countries have seized computers and made arrests in an attempt to disrupt the “warez” groups responsible for the majority of copyrighted material available illegally online. “We have shown law enforcement can find and prosecute those who try to use the internet to create piracy networks,” said US attorney general Alberto Gonzales.
