Late last year, the RIAA made a big deal about how they wanted to join the Internet2 group as a member. It was obvious from the beginning that the only reason they wanted to do so was to track to people file sharing on the network.

In that, they’ve been successful. The latest round of lawsuits targets file sharers on Internet2.
