I didnt think it was being justified though. It was an issue of one guy being charged almost 700k for 30 songs. If anything thing charge him 30 x price of each song (or even some multiple M, say 2, for "expenses"). To truly recover the costs, they should really be charging everyone who pirated the song or actively distributed it instead of who pinning the entire costs on one guy who pirated it or participated in a swarm.
- techiferous 16y agoConversation #1: Is it ethical to pirate music? Conversation #2: Is it ethical to sue $exorbitant for pirating music? Why does conversation #1 always turn into conversation #2?
- flashgordon 16y agoexcept this time i thought #2 was turning into #1 (actually i found that happening a lot of other times too)...
- techiferous 16y agoHaha! True. But it's frustrating for me to ask: "Is it ethical to pirate music?" and the direct answer to be "It is wrong to sue people for tons of money for pirating music." That's a complete non sequitur.
