DoJ sides with RIAA's $150,000-per-song penalty

24.03.2009

The memo was filed on Sunday, according to Wired.

Bennett further wrote that such damages are necessary because of "the need to deter millions of users of new technology from infringing copyrighted work in an environment where many violators believe that their activities will go unnoticed." A separate Wired report notes that the RIAA has sued to date.
