LimeWire Sued for $75 Trillion, Judge Denies

[Guest]

Everyone is referencing $75 trillion, but it says $7.5 trillion in the article. When did that period make it's way in?

retards that don't even read the article...LOL

Umm...how many of you actually read? 75 Trillian? Try 7 POINT 5 trillion. Seven and a half. Jebus people.

I'd really like it if the music industry was awarded nothing... screw them for suing families for such large sums.

I would think so since they are greedy lawyers working for morally bankrupt and greedy corporations. dont get me wrong Im all for corporations but when you claim 7.5 tril in damages from people not wanting to pay 14 bucks plus tax for a cd that they will more than likely listen to 1 or 2 songs off of for 2 weeks or so then never touch it again... you're fooling yourself to think that anyone finds you even close to relevant anymore. Yes mathematically that sum (if charged 400k per song) is in the right ball park for the hundreds of thousands of songs downloaded on limewire over the years but A) 40% or more of that will go to the government B) another ~30% will go to the lawyers and C) even if you could get that judgment there's no way you'd ever see more than a few million of it. So lets use our heads and try to calculate the number of songs then multiply that by 0.25 (the amount you can buy a song for online at the cheapest place) and sue for that... you MIGHT be able to get that... and even if you did A and B above still apply and the artists will most likely get a couple hundred bucks out of it each... which amounts to what a new gold plated beer mug or platinum crack pipe for these drugged up "stars"? yeah the RIAA isnt about the "intellectual property" its about the money... just like the environmentalists.
