Court won t reduce student s music download fine
By DENISE LAVOIE | Associated Press – 16 hrs ago
BOSTON (AP) — A former Boston University student who was ordered to pay $675,000 for illegally downloading and sharing 30 songs on the Internet says he will continue fighting the penalty, despite the Supreme Court s refusal Monday to hear his appeal.
Joel Tenenbaum, 28, of Providence, R.I., said he s hoping a federal judge will reduce the amount.
"I can t believe the system would uphold a six-figure damages amount for downloading 30 songs on a file-sharing system that everybody used," Tenenbaum said. "I can t believe the court would uphold something that ludicrous."
A jury in 2009 ordered Tenenbaum to pay $675,000, or $22,500 per song, after the Recording Industry Association of America sued him on behalf of four record labels, including Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Brothers Records Inc.
