I heard today that The RIAA sued a college student in Boston $675,000
for illegally download and sharing 30 songs. ........Man that's gonna
leave a mark. Do you think this will save the recording industry?
That's $22500.00 per song. I hope they were good tunes.


The suit has been going on for a long time. A higher court ruled upholding
the lower court's ruling and imposition of the fine. The supreme court
refused without comment to hear the appeal. At least that's what I remember
from the radio news report I heard today. So, you want it free and want to
pass it around to your friends? Maybe not such a good idea.
