"Single mum ordered to pay $1.5m for illegally downloading 24 songs"
"She was ordered to pay $62,500 for each of the 24 songs, a total of $1.5 million"
how anyone can think that's an appropriate punishment is beyond me
so when you're rich you can get away with murder, but when you're not you can be slapped with a $62.500 fine for downloading a song, utter insanity and you wonder why some people snap
to put this in perspective: this will totally destroy her life, now if she had robbed a shop or even held up a shop, she would be out in maximum a few years and be able to continue her life
let alone all those bank CEO's that destroyed 100 of thousands if not millions of people's lifes over the last few years they get no punishment
