While we certainly do not endorse illegal file sharing or copyright infringement, we don't think suing women, children, college students and dead people for $10k per song is the answer either.
The Unites States Government has submitted a brief to the Supreme Court asking it to uphold the $220,000 verdict in the RIAA vs. Thomas file-sharing case. According to the Obama administration damages of $9,250 per song is not an unconstitutional amount and is in fact needed to deter others from engaging on online piracy.
