Obviously the message that the RIAA want to go out from this is "ignore our warning letter at your peril". People are probably now going to think that paying $2000 (or whatever) is an easy get-off after reading about this court case. |
Depends where you live, do not forget the US has wide spaces out there.. I wish I could pay that for a house here too
Regarding the RIAA case, I think that since their statistics affirm that the number of file sharing households increased from 6.3 million to 7.1 million in the period covered (03-05 I think), this case is just a drop in a bucket and the chances of happening to anyone are less than having a car accident...
This being said, I am still amazed at how many people share files with strangers not considering the possible consequences (viruses, trojans, leaving aside the legal stuff)
