Court Upholds Colossal Song-Sharing Penalty

Court Upholds Colossal Song-Sharing Penalty: It is the end of an era. One of the last cases in which the Recording Industry Association of America sued an individual for illegal song sharing has reached the end of its road in a federal court in Massachusetts. There, the jury upheld a $675,000 damages award against Joel Tenenbaum following the directed guilty verdict in his 2009 trial and numerous appeals. However, the previous judge also found that the damages were excessive for the 31 songs Tenenbaum was found to have illegally shared.
