Well, you can’t just award the real price because then there would be no deterrent to downloading them. Downloaders would face no downside; if caught they’d just be liable for the same cost they’re avoiding anyway. But 200X seems usurious. In ancient Israel, God’s law required a thief to pay back multiple times the value of what he stole, and the multiple varied depending on what was stolen, but it was in the range of 5X, not 200X.

That was the problem with FILE SHARING, once it was ruled illegal, all they had to do was make a bust with one computer, then start following the IP address of all the file downloads.
