I don't think that any of us are interested in your weak excuses for failing to be available when duty calls.
I mean, really Karl.

Linked at »Karl's Hitched! which is arguably a more suitable place to heap praise and good tidings on Karl's shoulders.

Actually, the 'press' has it right. You might want to go to the source:
»blogs.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/riaa/
I sent in the AP version of this story Monday but Karl evidently decided it wasn't worth publishing then...

No, like most of the press, Karl is just confusing what the student was doing. Suing someone for downloading music is virtually impossible (unless you were listening in to their Internet connection). More than likely, the student was *sharing* 7 songs.
Still, $1 million in penalties for sharing 7 songs seems extreme. If I got to set the penalties, I'd set them at 10 times the fair market value of the work. In this case, it would be 10 * $0.99 (iTunes price), or $9.9 per work, or $69.30 for this student's transgression.
