Terrible. This is not justice. Justice would be to make her pay for the songs and sign an agreement not to do it again. Then if she violates that then assess fines. This is ridiculous.

> Terrible. This is not justice.... This is ridiculous.

The RIAA is trying to make up for years of stupidity (on their own part) for not recognizing a decade ago that the business model had to change.

Damn parasites, they sit between the creative artists and the eager listeners, reaping windfall after windfall for years with overpriced CDs, and they bitch when it falls apart.... they COULD have responded reasonably years ago, but now all they can do is squeeze anybody they catch.

Don'tcha know, their coke spoons are getting tarnished... they have to make their middleman cut...

I disagree with the amount but also with you. The punishment for a crime is not simple restitution lets say someone downloaded 100 songs that would have gotten one hundred dollars the less than an hour of good attorney fees..

20 times the value of the song, or a min of 20,000$ for all songs which ever is greater..
