RIAA has sent letters to at least 300 American companies claiming that some of their employees have used companies' networks for trading illegal MP3 files in P2P networks.
In letter RIAA warns companies about possible fines and also lists ways of preventing P2P usage at workplace. The letter also contained a CD with full logs of shared material, dates and times and IP addresses of P2P users in question.
"In short, your computer network and resources are being used to illegally distribute copyrighted music on the Internet," the letter said. "We strongly urge you to take immediate steps to prevent the continued infringement of our members' sound recordings on your corporate network."
