The single mum - who had just 24 songs on her computer - was ordered to pay £110,0000.

How low can the usa go?

To me this is a joke and all them people who think the mpaa and riaa are great just read this.

Hit the poor and feed the fat cat music company.

Well untill the uk goverment lower the tax rate over here maybe p2p will drop.

I belive tha she was done for 24 songs ,buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut she had 13,000 pirated songs on her pc . An it was in the USA . Last person in uk to get done was 2 years ago . Thye reckon for every copy of a song sold 20 copies are pirated . Radio 4 don't you just love it .

 

[TriplexDread]

Who's they mate. Cos i do work in the entertainment/music/clubs/pubs industry and I can pretty much guarentee its more than 20 copies per 1 sold!

 

[Abarbarian]

Well I was driving at the time and listening to R4 so it could have been 20,000 , all I know is 20 was definitly mentioned .
