Case in the US District Court today. A woman in Minnesota and charged and convicted of downloading 24 MP3 files. The original judgment against her was for a $1,900,000 penalty or $80,000 for each song. U.S. District Court reduced this judgment today to "only" a total of $54,000.
Regardless of if they have any chance at collecting on this judgment, I'm willing to bet that the individual involved wishes that she had never done this in the first place.
For these reasons - and for the fact that my nephew is a lawyer in the entertainment law industry - I shall remain chaste and legitimate as it relates to my acquisition of music :)
