It is quite obvious that the recording industry has no intention of throwing in the towel. Keep in mind that Nexicon seems to have involved itself in the new notification program. Here is an exerpt from the announcement:
"We're at a point where there's a sense of comfort that we can replace one form of deterrent with another form of deterrent," said RIAA Chairman and Chief Executive Mitch Bainwol. "Filing lawsuits as a strategy to deal with a big problem was not our first choice five years ago."
The new notification program is also more efficient, he said, having sent out more notices in the few months since it started than in the five years of the lawsuit campaign.The group says it will still continue to litigate outstanding cases, most of which are in the pre-lawsuit warning stage, but some of which are before the courts.
"It's much easier to send notices than it is to file lawsuits," Bainwol said.
