Joel Tenenbaum is out of options. A Massachusetts District Court judge ruled the $675,000 fine levied against him is indeed appropriate and refused calls for a new jury trial, meaning the former Boston University graduate student will pay a staggering $21,774 for every song he shared over P2P networks.
This does not make me people go out and buy individual songs on iTunes at $1.29, it just makes them angrier at the RIAA. Instead of going after average consumers, the RIAA should use its resources to give music lovers a better product.
