said by Kearnstd:i still think copyright cases involving P2P should be treated strictly at retail value. if the record goons want to call it theft instead of its proper legal name of copyright infringement then people should only be liable for the value of what is "stolen", in this case music which is worth on average 99 cents per track. if someone uploads 1000 tracks then they should only be liable for around a grand.
That would not stop people from downloading. You may or may not get caught. For $.99 they would take their chances but at $20000 a song they might not illegally download music.
