Details of the latest actions have not been released. In November, the first movie industry lawsuits were filed against over 200 individuals for file-sharing, seeking damages and injunctions.
The MPAA has also launched "Parent File Scan" – software that it says will help consumers check whether their computers contain P2P applications or files that have been downloaded in breach of copyright.
The organisation promises that the information generated by the program will be available only to the program's user, and will not be shared with or reported to the MPAA or any other body.
