Verdict Over Digital Music Theft
I guess I will have to watch this story and related developments with more interest. Some how I missed that a Case Western Reserve University student was being pursued by the music industry.
The story shares the verdict against a Minnesota woman. She must pay $1.92 million for 24 songs. It also points out a Case student is being sued as well.

I'm not sure how these verdicts can be delivered. It seems that most judges are too old to be able to understand the technologies.
Also, would you ever be required to pay such an amount like this for stealing a CD from the store? I think not.
