Think about it like this: In the US, a corporation is a legal person. However, corporations are composed of many people who run the company. A quick google brings up 158,500 in the case of sony. Since the judge broke down the payment to each person, we can re-constitute the number by the people in Sony she would have hurt. So 158,500 * 7.50 = 1,188,750; a number roughly similar to what she now has to pay. You know, maybe these justices are basing it ((song value * #of songs) * number of people in company) Lawyers: My fuzzy math is available for hire.
