College Student Fined 675 Thousand Dollars For Sharing Music Online

Well, many of the main culprits responsible for the economic meltdown are running the Obama administration (and, no doubt
would be running the McCain administration had he won), so it only makes sense that the powers that be are cracking down on young people sharing music on the Internet without paying for it.

A Boston college kid has to pay $675,000 for sharing 30 songs online.

There is actually a law that allows for fines of $150,000 per song, so he got off "easy".
