Huh. So I Guess They're Serious...
The Recording Industry of America is suing a dude in Augusta, Georgia for illegally downloading songs. Here's the rub: dude downloaded FIVE songs. Not only did he download five songs, he downloaded from five already rich MFers:
"Automobile" by NWA, Priority Records, LLC;
"All Over You" by LIve, UMG Recordings Inc.;
"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, Elektra Entertainment Group;
"Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, Capitol Records Inc.; and
"What Would You Say" by Dave Matthews Band, BMG Music.
(OK, I suppose Live and Tracy Chapman could use the money these days...)
If found guilty, the MINIMUM civil penalty is $750 per song.
Not coincidentally, the guy's name is Scott.
