Oy Tenenbaum! RIAA wins $675,000, or $22,500 per song »
Ben Sheffner / Ars Technica:
A Boston federal jury has ordered Joel Tenenbaum to pay a total of $675,000—$22,500 per song—to the major record labels for willfully infringing 30 songs by downloading and distributing them over the KaZaA peer-to-peer network. The figure is closer to the $222,000 award in the first Jammie Thomas-Rasset trial than the $1.92 million figure from the second trial.
Can he now declare bankruptcy and wipe this out?
