Student Has to Pay USD Half Million for Song Download
Posted on August 1, 2009
If you like downloading songs online, just beware. Make sure it’s not breaching the law, otherwise, the penalty would be too much especially if you are just a student like the story below:
A Boston University student who admitted illegally downloading and sharing 30 songs was ordered Friday to pay $675,000 to four record companies.
In awarding the companies $22,500 per track, a federal jury in Boston decided on a far lesser amount than the maximum faced by Joel Tenenbaum of Providence, R.I.. Under federal law, the jury could have ruled that the record studios were entitled to as much as $150,000 per track, or $4.5 million.
