Yeah, but a single mom who traded 24 songs. Doubt she should even be on a target list other then she probably doesn't thave the money to defend herself.
I don’t get the 220,000. She theoretically stole $24 worth of music. Do shoplifters and others who steal small things receive this large a fine?
Illegal is illegal; you are taking your chances.
Like speeding with the pack of cars; if you get singled out for a ticket it is pretty lame to say, “but everyone else was speeding too”.
She should have accepted the original deal and made a payment plan arrangement.
Plus, she had over 1,000 downloaded on her machine, they only prosecuted on a couple of dozen.
