An article from BBC News discloses that 52 of the 251 people recently sued by the RIAA for file swapping have settled out of court for amounts ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 and that 832 people have voluntarily signed up for the so-called "amnesty" program that the RIAA set up (which guarantees nothing as regards to amnesty, but does require self- incriminating admissions).
