RIAA asks court to overturn filesharing fine reduction
Monday, Nov 1st 2010 at 8:55AMBoston student Joel Tenenbaum was ordered to pay $675k (?420k) for illegally sharing 30 tracks online but this was reduced to $67.5k (?42k) on appeal in August after a judge deemed the initial fine to be "unconstitutional".
Tenenbaum stated he was still unable to pay the reduced fine.
DigitalMediaWire reports the RIAA is pushing for the Boston District Court to reinstate the original fine, arguing its reasoning for the reduction was "hopelessly flawed".
