This is why I hate music distributors.

EDIT: Now he owes $675k?! How the hell does that even pass as fair. US judges have a negative IQ I swear.

Judges are bound to honour the boundaries of law.

They cannot base their sentence on their own emotions and opinion. The judge most probably thought it was absurd too, but if a lawyer conclusively proves that a defendant broke an actual law and can justify the damages, a judge has no other option but to pass a sentence.

If it was transferred to my computer withouth my permission (temp folder), I have the right to keep it.
