Court won't reduce music download fine

[jugoso]

The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., who was successfully sued by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for illegally sharing music on peer-to-peer networks. In 2009, a jury ordered Tenenbaum to pay $675,000, or $22,500 for each song he illegally downloaded and shared.

expensive, expensive Id say, so I guess the moral of the story is: don't get caught dispersing music illegally...

sooner or later in stories like this there is always a last one who gets bitten by the dogs, in this case Tenenbaum.

At 22,500$ a pop, I sure hope it was QUALITY music!!
