That's nonsense, of course.

It has already been established for years that you can make copies of your own music or video content for your personal use. The issue is making it available to others -- alleged distribution -- where the RIAA has the ability to go after the offenders.

This is just more of the fear-factor. They are crazy.

Its just crazy... I calced it real fast like 9k per song is what she has to pay... and the courts uphold this? - Not that I'm for ripped music... but 9k per song is a lot - maybe like 2k per song... 9k isnt worth the song..... they made for wayyyyy less then that.

I call it pathetic, my friend. The recording industry rips off artists big time, particularly on digital content, which costs them nothing to provide. Then they rip off the customers if they happen to get over-eager in getting questionable content.

I wonder if they also rip off each other.
