Woman ordered to pay $1.5 million for file-sharing 24 songs

[Minions]

25,000 is still $1000/song.... ($1 songs from apple....), so she in essence would have had to upload every single one of those songs 1000 times to even make that equivalent. I see a "real" figure being around 15k. That being said you are basically forced to take the settlement or you are going to get raep.

[Yugl]

I don't see why they can't just take away three of her children instead of fining her an amount she'll probably never pay off. If she does manage to make that much money though, she can buy them back.

[Blarg]

eye for an eye, she should be forced to write and record 24 songs and then have the record company steal them from her

[Falaras]

I don't get what the fuss is about, any woman out of the kitchen long enough to download 24 songs should face much harsher punishment.

[Rhinox]

I'd owe as much money as qualbie

and they Don't accept Foodstamps. So you're fucked

[Khajit]

I hate those streaming sites because they have that region ban bullcrap and Bermuda doesn't count under anything usually. The main use i used to have for em was figuring out what songs i wanted to download.

[Clash Perez]

Even $15k is absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't have settled either. The RIAA needs to accept that they've screwed the pooch in keeping up with current technology, and either roll over and die or lern2adapt.

Also, streaming sucks.

You need to meet him to understand whats going on up there sometimes. By "up there", I mean at the 4 1/2 foot range.

You're doing it wrong.

[Ashmada]

The insanity of this verdict is one of the symptoms of unchecked lobbying.

The music industry in particular seems to have the power to coerce politians (both US and EU) in voting laws that are, quite frankly, in violation of core democratic principles.

Regarding piracy, their stance apparently is "we can't prove wrongdoing, so fuck proof, let's assume guilt", presumption of innocence be damned... sends a chill down my spine that they can get away with it.

[Tubie]

I thought they stopped fucking people over like this a few years ago? Guess the music industry is in such bad shape they don't know what to do anymore.

The thread is only three pages long... your question was answered on page two I think.

To answer it again. Yes they did stop, but this case was still in the works so it went on.
