Considering a Fair Penalty For Illegal File-sharing 728
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt, following up on yesterday's announcement of the 1.5 million dollar verdict against Jammie Thomas: "This week a federal jury handed down the verdict in the third file-sharing trial against a Minnesota mother of four who has been fighting against the charges brought by the RIAA since 2005. Understandably, a lot of people are outraged by this verdict and while reading through comments about the fine on some online forums, I saw some interesting opinions on how these fines should be assessed. The point that $62,500 per song is excessively high seems to be something that everyone can agree on, but what actually is fair seems to be a big point of contention."

Great, I didn't know there were North Koreans on here. Your pigeon must be fast if you managed to post only an hour and a half after the story was posted.

The rich will still be able to afford enough lawyers to make sure they never loose if they are ever sued for infringement.
Then they must tighten.

To be fair, the public you're dealing with, is supposed to be good at programming and stuff.
