Sorry if this is a repost, but it's just plain ridiculous. That breaks down to $80,000 per song. I know the RIAA or whoever wants to make a point, especially because they convict so few people, but I believe this will have a "back-firing" effect once people hear about it.
Take me for example, this is so ludicrous that it has, in fact, inspired me to download approximately 2,000 songs of nothing I particularly care for - just to spite this ruling.
And I am a proponent of anti-piracy usually, but this just shows me that the authorities are taking the wrong approach. By grossly over-fining a select few but doing absolutely nothing to the other 99.9999 % (which I bet have over 24 songs) it demonstrates a complete lack of foresight, and also only confirms that the music industry in actuality despises the people who enjoy the artists' works.
Opinions?
TheVrolok wins the repost.
