And this kid thought paying back his student loans was going to be hard.
What happened to unreasonable punishment clause in the constitution.

what a way to fuck up a guy's credit at such a young age. Pin him with a 6 figure judgment when he clearly doesn't have that kind of money.
I think bankruptcy law was changed within the last decade or so, where even if someone declares bankruptcy they are still required to pay back a portion of their annual income minus expenses to a court-ordered settlement for a period of a few years. So while these people might never see all of their 675k, this kid is still likely not going to have it easy for a long time.well he should be able to just claim bankruptcy and they will never see a dime or at least a very small portion .... I think anyway.
Then for about the next 10 years his credit is boned .. well kinda,I know people that have claimed chapter 13 and in a year they had loans with great interest rates.
Anyway I hope that kid can do that and the music industry sees none of the settlement.
They actually asked him for $3500 total in 2003 when this whole episode started ... it was because he declined and decided to fight this that it escalated ... as I said, he did instigate much of this himself
You guys grow up a little.
When you punish a thief you have to punish them for MORE than they actually took such that they realize it was not worth it to break the law. Otherwise what reason do they have not to simply steal as much as they can then only pay back what they are caught with?
Second in most cases the person probably fought something they should have just settled for pennies on the dollar out of court. Don't fight it and drive up the lawer costs etc... If you took it then man up. You start racking up time in court and they keep increasing the costs and you can bet they are going to go after those costs.
Then lets throw in some of the other realities, he only stole 30 songs right? Oh really? I am sure someone who knows how to bit torrent and was caught, was caught on their first ever day using it, right? lol. No he has probably stolen way more than that this is just the 30 songs they could clearly prove after they threw out everything else for various reasons.
Also lay off the jury, a jury does not determine a sentence, it is not their job to decide to free someone from guilt simply because they don't agree with the sentence. Should a juror free a murderer because they don't believe in the death penalty? If you guys seriously think that its up to the jury to do that then go back to the 1900s when jurors would free a white man just because he killed a black man, because that is very much the message you are getting across if you think that a jury should be freeing people simply because of their personal belief on an issue.
Finally don't forget to preorder your PS4 everyone SONY always has you the customers best interest at hand. And unlike MS they are not a money grubbing corporation they don't even care about money ha.
Depends on the law. Awards may be pre-determined and the jury may only be allowed to find for or against the plantiff. Normally they would have a say but there's so much copyright law the award portion may have been taken away from them.
Do not question the law, or the law will kill you.
When are you Americans going to take back your country from the ruthless greedy corporations that have hijacked it? Home of the free my ass.
As soon as people start realizing that the skydaddy's a myth. Corporation hides behind religion promoting their politicians.
What religion is Sony?
Church of the Latter Day Electronics?
Good I hate thieves! Hope this happens to some of you! Fucking scum bags.
Whatever the politician's religion is. It's the politicians who sell religion to their voters while corporations line their pockets. If you think they care about babies in a woman's belly I've a bridge to sell you.
File sharing is abortion. You heard it at the [H] first.

I've never heard of an Atheist that has an issue the way the bible-beaters do... ever. Atheists don't generally consider a zygote to be a sentient being, the way religious people ... wait a second, what does this have to do with file sharing again? LOL!About babies in women's bellies, this is going to come as a HUGE shock to Liberals, but it's not just Bible thumpers who question whether it's homicide.
Felatio isn't on the bargaining table to make EVERY problem go away though; not that I'm questioning your success fighting traffic violations.And that's the difference when a cop pulls me over for speeding I say sorry and suck it up

You are making generalizations, you can't back up. I suggest you read up on Russian history in the 20th and 21st century.
Would you say that the USSR is was a Bible Thumping gov't?
Abortion laws do have some ties to religion, but it's not exclusive.
You have been mislead for decades. Basically because the Liberal Elite do not think the common American is very smart.
If I were him, I'd be looking at moving to India or somewhere in Asia as soon as I graduated. He could pretty easily disappear and live well on what would be a modest income in the US.
The Russians have always been Eastern Orthodox, very much so. Even during communism. Just like the majority of Chinese people are Buddhist, even during Mao. The Russian people at no point in their history have had an athiest majority. Not even close.
Never. As painful as it is to type this the America everyone once knew is dead.

I agree that the fines are excessive.
But you know what guys? If you don't like the way the law was applied and think that this was an injustice -- DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Write your congressman. Start an online petition. IIRC, it takes 100,000 signatures (can be done digitally, but it may be more now) to get the White House to respond to a petition.

Sweet Grandmother's Clothes Hanger!!
the fact you can go out -- get drunk -- and plow into a family van filled with kids, killing a few of them, and get LESS of a harsh sentence, says a lot about how messed up this country is.
I could rob a bank, shoot someone in the legs, take 50,000 dollars in cash, and have less of an overall life impact than this judgement.
I know a guy who got hammered, drove drunk and killed a cop and dragged him for a block and got 10 years, probably gonna get out in 7
On an unrelated note
What's more amazing then the fine is the fact that this guy managed to find 30 songs to download these days, unless the music he downloaded wasn't from the last 15? years
