| Interesting If the RIAA has filed 13,000 lawsuits and only 3,000 have settled, are just letting the time run out on the other 10,000 lawsuits? I know in Florida a lawsuit normally gets kicked by the court one year after filing if there is no activity. |

I know in Florida a lawsuit normally gets kicked by the court one year after filing if there is no activity. Probably in the identification stage. Since the DMCA provision allowing them to serve subpoenas to ISPs wholesale without judge's signature got knocked down by one of the Appeals Courts, they are filing "John Doe" lawsuits. This means that they have to make a separate case for every IP address that they track, and present it along with evidence to a judge. A judge reviews each of these cases on an individual basis and then decides whether to serve ISP with a subpoena to reveal the name behind the IP. As you can imagine, this takes time.

| But there would bound to be at least a few cases ready to go by now. This has been going on for years. My bet is still on the RIAA just not moving forward with cases they can't just settle. |
