Court affirms $675,000 penalty in music-downloading case | Politics and Law - CNET News

Court affirms $675,000 penalty in music-downloading case | Politics and Law - CNET News: "a $675,000 damages award against Joel Tenenbaum, who was accused of illegally downloading 31 songs from a fire-sharing Web site and distributing them and was sued by the main recording companies in the U.S."

"The penalty is at the low end of the range for willful infringement and below the limit for even nonwillful infringement, and thus was not excessive, the judge ruled."

It certainly seems excessive to me!
