what a fucked up world we live in.

Jesus fucking christ dude.

this is.. just... beyond words, really

and the artists who she "ripped off" will get approx 0.00000001% of that, just to make it even worse.

I'm downloading Linkin Park songs as a silent protest

What in the fuck? Eighty grand per download? How the fuck did they come to that conssensus? Was she downloading illegal Dodge Vipers?

if i were the type of hard-on bearer that had money, i'd wager a good amount of it that no artist sees a dime of any settlement or lawsuit victory.



anyway, this one is going to be appealed all the way to the supreme court if need be, i think they're eventually trying to challenge the constitutionality of damage awards like this.

if I had money like that I would pay my favourites bands ten times more their albums are worth



this is soooo wrong

Yeah artists make money from concerts not CDs

depends on the artist

If I ever got caught and sentenced to pay $80,000 per download, I'd just laugh at them and tell them to come get it. I couldn't sell all the stuff that I have AND all the stuff I ever owned and come up with 80 grand.

they would just garnish your wages for the maximum amount allowed by law for the rest of your life, and then claim your entire estate upon your death

or do a murder/suicide thang

i'm willing to bet there's been plenty of folks in the same situation who at the very least, went the suicide route. afaik, fines like these are one of the types of debt that can't be wiped out by any bankruptcy filings, so they never go away. considering they can claim up to 25% of your wages, and you've got legal fees on top of that in most cases... yeah, the average person isn't going to be doing too hot.
