RIAA – Dr. Ray Pastore's Instructional Technology Blog https://raypastore.com/wordpress Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:02:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.15 166124113 Recording industry wins 675k from man for illegally distributing 31 songs https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/08/recording-industry-wins-675k-from-man-for-illegally-distributing-31-songs/ https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/08/recording-industry-wins-675k-from-man-for-illegally-distributing-31-songs/#respond Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:02:40 +0000 https://raypastore.com/wordpress/?p=1675 This is exactly why the RIAA is evil. Come on, 675k? That is totally outrageous to expect a person to pay that.

“A federal court in Massachusetts today upheld a $675,000 damages award against Joel Tenenbaum, who was accused of illegally downloading 31 songs from a fire-sharing Web site and distributing them and was sued by the main recording companies in the U.S. ” Sources

Not that I had any after the original lawsuits, but the RIAA just lost a lot my respect.
