A Minnesota woman ordered to pay US$1.5 million for sharing songs online is not planning to pay the recording industry. I commend her for taking a stand against such high damages for violating the copyrights of just 24 songs. In 2007, a jury ordered a payment of US$222,000. Then last year, a second jury increased her damages bill to almost US$2 million. And now, a third jury has reduced this to US$1.5 million, but she is well within her rights not to pay such an unconstitutional amount of damages. Those bellends at the RIAA should think about who they're suing and how much they're suing for because frivolous lawsuits like this just cause more hassle for everyone.
