The Recording Industry Assn. of America sued 261 individuals last week for illegally downloading songs through online file-sharing services.

Find out if you’re on one of the subpoenas the RIAA has filed with the court by logging on to the Electronic Frontier Foundation Web site and typing in your user name or IP address.
