Fuck. That sucks.

Sweet Jesus. And to think, there are 20,000 more lawsuits coming.

The RIAA makes me sick. Those miserable, pathetic fucks.

this sucks.

Not surprising ... they were guilty of copyright infringement. Dunno why people are getting pissed off here.

I reworded it to make more sense. I believe that there have been around 20,000 lawsuits - this is just the first one that made it past settlement and into the courtroom.

wow thats a lot of money.

Yes, piracy is illegal - we all know that. I'm not pissed off, I'm just in awe.

Money, power hungry bastards is all I can say.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

For the dip in sales, this sure as fuck will make up some of the difference. 9k a song, with at least an album a day (to make it easy, cd is 10 tracks) thats over 3million dollars in back charges. All I have to say is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

that sucks. majorly.

Yeah, it equals a whole lot more based upon copyright law. The price was significantly reduced. Probably should have just bought of iTunes at $.99 and saved some money.
