Fortunately, we live in a legal system where one needs to _prove_ how much damage was done. The RIAA did not, according the the article, demonstrate anything beyond the value of the song, $0.99.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoSo, you're arguing that the fine should be $0.99 times the number of people who downloaded each song this person shared, times some kind of multiplier for punitive damanges?
- joshfinnie 17y agoWell it should be even lower than $0.99. I would be shocked if Apple is making zero profit for their iTunes store. They are probably charged something like $0.75 a song per person. This should make for a good baseline for these cases.
- jacquesm 17y agoThat would be something that would probably be palatable to a lot of people. It is based in fact, not in some arbitrary figure pulled out of the air.
