...says he will continue fighting the penalty, despite the Supreme Court's refusal to hear his appeal.

How do you legally continue fighting after the Supreme Court turns you down? Perhaps he should give them a big public raspberry and illegally download thousands of songs now, inviting, daring, the court hit him with a $675,000,000,000,000 fine -- to protest the first ridiculous fine?

I'd probably join an organized crime outfit.

I can't make money legit? Fine. Watch this.

Oh, and as an organized crime figure, my first few whacks would be at anyone that heads up RIAA.

“How do you legally continue fighting after the Supreme Court turns you down? “

If I read correctly earlier, the 1st Circuit ruled on some part of the issue (and ruled decisively for Sony etc), and referred it back to the lower court to determine if the award should be reduced.

The SC didn’t say no to that defendent for good, just no for specific issues and no for now.

Wage a PR war. Use the names of the musicians of the pieces. Name the record company exceutives. Name the plaintiff's lawyers. Tell thier communities these bastards want a lifetime income for a measely few songs. Make an overture to reimburse the loss. Let everyone know the Music industry only wants money. At some point the bastards looking for a pound of flesh will have to face the market.
