Slap on the wrist. They'll be right back at it

They're both against the law, are they not?
If I break the law, to any degree, I take my chances on the outcome, right?

There have been several stories of RIAA guarddogs attacking grandmothers for songs they didn't even download.
 LydiaToo, are you implying the punishment should not fit the crime?

While the fine was crazy, I'm guessing that much of it was due to the fact that she was sharing the songs with others. It would be interesting to see how it breaks down if you factor in how many people downloaded it from her.

| Companies like that should just be forced to close up and the operators should not be allowed to run a business again. That would create a desire to follow the law for future business men. |
