And then they came for the lawyers...........and we all rejoiced at their demise.

 
People and companies spent time and money creating those songs reasonably believing they would be paid for their work. I bet you'd be the absolute first to be knocking on the lawyer's office the minute your boss said he wasn't paying you this week.


They have been WELL paid for their "work"

Just wait until Congressmen who have been bought by the recording/copyright people make even more barbaric penalties in law for file sharing.

I mean some lady stole 30.00 bucks worth of CDs and the CD company is awarded 1.5 million? That is what, life in prison if you don't have the cash?

Yea that will show her.

Cost of songs + Court costs + whatever the fine is for petty theft.



If she only downloaded then that's what it should be. Well, plus damages up to 100% of the original cost.

Now if your uploading stuff then, yeah, copyright infringement comes into play...
