;gobsmacked; What are the chances of getting similarly busted for ££££ in the UK? Do they bust downloaders as well as uploaders? Should people return to buying music? Or just cloak their IP addresses from P2P networks?

On Friday, the jury ordered Mr Tenebaum to pay $22,500 for each infringement. The maximum that he could have been fined was $4.5m. How the fuck did he get $22,500 per song????? and how the hell could it have been up to $150,000 per song according to the courts??

It looks a bit like the record companies go after uploaders more than anything. Most p2p programs I've seen friends using seem to default to sharing all downloaded files (and reseeding while in transit too), so maybe even those busted didn't do it quite intentionally. Maybe a lawsuit against Limewire/Bearshare coming up? lmao that the likes of these portray themselves as anything other than facilitators of copyright breaching. Seems a lot easier to catch uploader anyway, you just need to download the file to your machine and you can see the IP address of who you're getting it from. If you're gonna catch a downloader then presumably you have to offer it for upload to catch them by using IP addresses. Hardly looks good in court if you're busting them for illegally downloading the music that you're making available p2p anyway...
