Damn The RIAA Is Ruthless
The recording industry Thursday won the largest judgment so far against consumers who illegally download music over the Internet when a federal jury ordered a 30-year-old Minnesota woman to pay $222,000 for copyright infringement.
After the verdict, Thomas’ attorney, Brian Toder, told The Associated Press: “She was in tears. She’s devastated. This is a girl that lives from paycheck to paycheck, and now all of a sudden she could get a quarter of her paycheck garnished for the rest of her life.”
Damn how is a mother of two making 35k a year going to pay off $220,000? I guess they want to show the world they are not playing games, blogs are next.

who the fuck even uses kazaa anymore
but that shit is wrong. they should appeal. she probly doesnt even have 200 grand worth of music. make her pay as much as it would cost to get get all those cds. this is vindictive. punishment does not fit the crime.
id rather do a couple weeks in jail than pay that fine.

FUK the goverment that’s jus another way for them to get more money from a hard working person…it’s SAD

Maybe this is not even true. They prob just released some bulls hit to scare people into stop downloading. i bet a few thousand stopped right after they herd this report.

#14…”a hard working person”???? what about the musician…it’s there JOB to make music! Everybody on this site DOWNLOAD but atleast half of the people here do buy music and SUPPORT THE ARTIST. I think it’s a good example cause people take music like its suppose to be FREE, like studio time,recording equiptment,etc. don’t cost! Like the people who pays the light bills, heating/AC bills, property taxes just do it all for FREE…GOOD EXAMPLE by the RIAA

^^^Yeah good way to make an example out of someone. But damn $200,000.
