The Recording Industry Association of America said it has sent cease-and-desist letters to five people whom it suspects of illegally offering massive amounts of copyrighted music through peer-to-peer networks.
Friday's ruling that the makers of Grokster and Morpheus aren't liable for copyright infringement occurring as a result of people using their peer-to-peer software could spell bad news for the file traders themselves.

A new anti-piracy technique embeds copy-protection or other data inside audio files, even if they are compressed or recorded through an analogue connection.
ARIA has voiced its support for a brochure set to go out to companies that warns of the dangers of Internet piracy and urges companies to crack down on work-place copyright infringement.
SunnComm Technologies, one of several companies developing anti-CD copying products, has licensed a new technique that can hide data, video, software or an identifying watermark inside music files.
