Booooooo , Seems a bit excessive. I could understand a fine to discourage folks from illegally downloading. I think 100 dollars per song would send the same message to anyone caught. I guess the legal fees would far outweigh them enforcing at 100$ per song. I feel terrible that this one persons singled out when the problems rampant on the web.

It'd be comically stupid if it weren't for the fact they've ruined this woman's life (even if she'd won).
Obviously it's going to another trial, and we'll see if the judge is technically inept enough to buy what the RIAA is selling.
Some of the instructions to the jury were way off base too. Utterly ridiculous, but it can't continue this way.

Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

I would only pay $80,000 for a song if is mad orgasm... multiple times.
That’s ridiculous, I chose not to download music out of respect to the musician etc, but I think by awarding such a huge amount of money the only example they're setting is the lack of common sense.
In what way are they achieving any example of people who pirate (mass distribution)? Be prepared for bankruptcy?

Like you've never missed an opportunity to be an alcoholic womaniser.

They're claiming that the songs she had in her shared folder were available to be downloaded, and therefore cost them thousands upon thousands in theoretical sales.
That may or may not have happened.
Personally I think she should have been fined in "theoretical dollars" to make up for the imaginary sales they lost, but then, I'm no judge.
