It wasn't for the d/l so much as the uploading of said 23 tracks that she did.

Very much a show trial like the TPB.org one a couple of months back.

Thomas-Rasset downloaded work by artists such as No Doubt, Linkin Park, Gloria Estefan and Sheryl Crow.

The fines were deserved.

you can see the ip address of everyone who's seeding or downloading a torrent that you're seeding or downloading, so i'd imagine catching people using them would be a piece of piss.

there's a company called mediadefender (i think) that spends all its time doing this for record & film studios.

also they charged her with only 24 mp3s to simply make the trial faster, she shared hundreds of them. but still it doesn't change the fact that I kind of disagree with so harsh punishments. However the thing is that the way music is made has to transform before we can transform the legal issues behind music.
