Source: MPAA to file 200 lawsuits against filesharers tomorrow?


A source who asks to remain anonymous (but generally knows what he's talking about) tells BoingBoing that the MPAA is expected to file a number of lawsuits against movie fileswappers -- possibly as early as tomorrow, Thursday November 4. The number of lawsuits is expected to be in the range of 200, +/-. "They talked about this once before, but held off," he says, "and they've put out word that they're doing a big announcement related to piracy at a Billboard conference tomorrow."

UPDATE: The Associated Press now has a story out. Announcement from MPAA head planned for Thursday. Link
