Lawsuits on Net file-sharing have mixed effect : Hollywoodreporter.com: " Driven largely by fears of copyright lawsuits, more than 17 million Americans, or 14% of adult Internet users, have stopped downloading music over the Internet, a survey finds. But the overall percentage of people who say they currently do so has inched back up since November, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said in a study Sunday. A third of the former downloaders -- nearly 6 million -- say they stopped because of the highly publicized lawsuits filed by the recording industry since last summer against more than 1,000 users."
