The Recording Industry Association of America ('RIAA') has filed thousands of legal actions since its campaign against unauthorized file sharers began in 2003. For the past two years, Holme Roberts & Owen ('HRO'), based in Denver, CO, has served as national coordinating counsel for these cases. Late last year, the first trial against a file-sharer resulted in a jury in Duluth, MN, finding the defendant liable for willful infringement and awarding the record company plaintiffs $222,000.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly."
