Daughter's downloads get mom sued

Posted by TimSlavin at December 10, 2003

"Scimeca, a secretary for an insurance company, said she and her husband, a mechanic, are "scraping by" to pay the mortgage and cannot afford a lawyer -- let alone penalties that could reach $150,000 per song under federal copyright law." The human side of the RIAA lawsuits. Notice how many people had to settle rather than make the RIAA prove their case in court. People are effectively presumed guilty. Someone should pay for a few of these cases to go to court to define the real limits of their actions. Until then, the result is extortion pure and simple. From the New Jersey Star Ledger.
