"The number of targets this round, we believe, is beside the point," said Matt Grossman, a spokesman for the MPAA. "This is part of an ongoing campaign that is part of a larger effort to protect the business."

While the RIAA believes the legal action is necessary for label-approved online music services to thrive, critics say the lawsuits have had little effect on file-sharing behavior.

Gee, I wonder why? As Princess Leia said to Grand Moff Tarkin: "The more to tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip your fingers."
