just give her the death sentence and take every penny she owns like you know the RIAA would like to. At least they got one of those things.

hmm i have 3 pirated songs $80,000 USD x 3 = $240000 USD
with a high chance of settling for about $3000-$5000 hmm good thing i am not in America, havn't heard about any Australians being sued over music piracy, only a few unlucky souls got jailed over software piracy (not that Americas bad, was just stating this as a i'm safe thing) but nothing about music piracy i don't pirate software, so im safe from that |

wow, $80,000 a song. So hypothetically if i had downloaded 6337 songs I would owe $506,960,000.

Wow...
__________________I wonder how they do jury selection. Attorney: "Do you have a computer?" Potential Juror: "Yes."

That's the only way I can see 12 human beings fine a mother of 4 for nearly 2 million for TWENTY FOUR SONGS. TWENTY FOUR!

It's sad, but I hope the mother kills herself over this and the media blasts that all over our TV. "Recording Industry Kills Mother of Four" could be the headline.
