I do think the amount was too much, BUT she lied and said that she didn't download them at all. I'd feel more sorry for her if she wouldn't have came up with a long story about how she didn't do it, had no idea, etc.

I mean, she even had her hard drive changed out after she was notified that she was being investigated. That's a big no-no.

She should have at least admitted she did it and then say that she didn't know it was so wrong or something. So this is all her fault. But I about fell over when I saw the amount that they fined her.

I also read that the amount doesn't count the attorney fees that she will have to pay too, so the final amount could be half a million. That's insane!

But again, don't steal stuff and you don't have to worry about getting caught...
