    I know a few musicians and I totally see their point of view, it annoys me when people say all music should be free. No it shouldn't, musicians should get paid for writing and recording their music.

    But the recording industry can't win, even if they pick out individuals to make an example of, it won't solve the problem. Charging an individual such a huge amount isn't really right either. They shoul have to pay back what the tracks were worth and maybe a bit more on top (or be made to do some roadie-ing for some small bands for a few months as community service).
    But the industry needs to properly come together an address this, especially with things like Spotify potentially changing the way we listen to music (ie, never having to own anything).

    • the amount they sought was for 24 tracks not the full 1700, the 24 tracks alone could have been downloaded thousands upon thousands of time.chossy
    • upon thousands of times. Imagine if they fought for all 1700......chossy
