The Recording Industry Association of America is now targetting businesses, in its quest to stop music piracy. The RIAA has sent letters to 300 United States companies accusing them of illegally trading copyrighed music on their networks.

“In short, your computer network and resources are being used to illegally distribute copyrighted music on the Internet,” the letter said. “We strongly urge you to take immediate steps to prevent the continued infringement of our members’ sound recordings on your corporate network.”

The letters went on to say that if the trading isn’t stopped, the companies will be fined.

“These acts of infringement could expose your employees and your company to significant legal damages,” the letter said.

The RIAA has been blaming online file sharing programs for the 9% fall in CD Sales last year.
