Downloaders are paying big bucks for their seemingly free music. Music labels win $2 million in web case for a user violating copyright laws. The woman was accused of exchanging music over the Kazaa internet service. Jammie Thomas-Rasset of Brainerd Minnesota was sentenced to pay a fine of $80,000 for each of the 24 songs she had available for downloaders to download for free. This is a significant rise from the first trial in 2007 where the fine was only $9,250 per song.
The lead was very informative, but it was a little too wordy. It was a good summary lead and it contained all the essential information. I do think it could have gone without the part that tells us who owned The Universal Music Group in order to make it easier to read and simpler.
