In March 2006 RIAA told Kansas City Business Journal it had sued 18,000

Hat tip to Jon Newton of p2pnet.net for pointing out that the RIAA told the Kansas City Business Journal in early March, 2006, that it had sued 18,000 people. For the next 2 1/2 years or so it was commencing suits at a rate of approximately 10,000 per year.
