Now let's see the US Supreme Court do the same and shove it to RIAA, movie studios, and all companies that are essentially getting away with the same thing here in the US.

didn't they basically say every song is worth 32000$ or was that a court lower than them.... the supreme court is also made up of people sympathetic to the mpaa and riaa.

Isn't it telling that everything these people are trying to do tramples directly over our fundamental rights.
