Joel Tenenbaum Owes the RIAA $675,000

Joel Tenenbaum Owes the RIAA $675,000

Boston University graduate student Joel Tenenbaum has been ordered to pay $675,000 to four record labels after he admitted in federal court that he had downloaded and distributed more than 30 songs.

"Unfortunately for Tenenbaum, the messages appears to be the same one sent by jurors in the two trials of Jammie Thomas-Rasset," writes the LA Times' Jon Healey. "By tuning Tenenbaum up for $22,500 per song — not the $150,000 maximum by any stretch, but still a sizable figure — they expressed their sharp disapproval of people who willfully break the law. Illegal downloading is a petty crime, and the major record companies are highly unsympathetic victims. Yet jurors in all three cases not only refused to nullify the law, they chose to apply bankrupting penalties."
