Download 24 Songs & Pay $1.9 Million


In case your teenager(s) favorite pastime is downloading the latest hit record(s) to their iPod you may be interested to know that a federal jury has found a Minnesota woman guilty of downloading 24 songs from the internet without paying for the download.

The judgment against her is for $1.9 million or $80,000 per song. This is the first copyright infringement case of its kind to go to trial. The songs were priced at .99 cents each on the net. Unless you have a spare million or two it might be a good idea to advise the kids.

Misinformation. There never has nor ever will be liability for downloading. She was file sharing on Kazaa, of course. It amazes me that an industry believes that it is taking a credible and appropriate course of action by suing their own customers. Idiots.
