My Way News - Download Case Should Go to Jury Today

My Way News - Download Case Should Go to Jury Today: "Copyright law allows damages of $750 to $30,000 per infringement, or up to $150,000 if the violation was 'willful.' That means Thomas, who works for the Department of Natural Resources of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, could face a judgment of anywhere from $18,000 to $3.6 million for the 24 songs." Wow. That's quite a range. There is so much money in entertainment in this country. For the common man, like me, I can't begin to understand how these lawsuits, some 26,000 according to the article, are justifiable.
