How is that relevant? Yes, the instructions were wrong, but that's because putting someone through a lawsuit that potentially costs the defendant thousands of dollars just to ensure they won't "share" 2 dozen songs is wrong, something which was in turn made possible because certain idiotic/outdated/Procrustean laws existing. Jury instructions are just an effect (a legally circumscribed one, at that, so nothing went wrong
technically)
