RIAA Copyright Fine Totals $1.92 Million
$80,000 a song? how the hell did they come up with that number. I am going to have to google around to find out where that number came from.
One music fan out there could be paying $80,000 for a Green Day track—whether he or she likes it or not.
The Recording Industry Association of America won a major victory June 18 in Minnesota federal court, which ruled that Jammie Thomas-Rasset was guilty of copyright violation for downloading 24 songs using the Kazaa file-sharing network.
The court fined Thomas-Rasset $1.92 million, which translates into $80,000 per song. It represents the first time a filing-sharing case has successfully gone to trial. The downloaded artists in question included Green Day and Sheryl Crow.
