@Schouten_B Really?
1)The poster said billionaires are "demanding" it, not that it is law.
2)Between 2003 and 2008, RIAA sued over 30,000 kids for an average of between $3K and $11K each, which comes to between $90M and $330M.
In 2009 a Borton U student had to pay $675K for downloading 30 songs. A federal jury in Minneapolis ruled that a plaintiff must pay $1.92 million, or $80,000 on each of 24 songs.

@AlisonCreekside The posters used the words, 'the law only ever serves capital', a gross exaggeration, that also isn't proven here, as that has nothing to do with what billionaires -demand-.

The $1.92 million you speak of in Minneapolis was reduced to $220K on appear. It also wasn't a teenager. Adding up all verdicts seems misleading at best.

So again, gross exaggeration bordering plain misinformation.
