Cartersville Woman ordered to pay 6,000 in RIAA lawsuit
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:27 am EDT, Oct 20, 2007

I wonder if she didn't respond because she was dead? Try finding an internet savy lawyer in a small town around here. HA! Wonder if that is why so many local lawsuits have been filed?
----------------------------------------------------------

"A Bartow woman must pay $6,420 for eight songs she is accused of downloading and sharing with others on the Internet.

In July, the Recording Industry Association of America filed a lawsuit against Christy Lee, of 61 Honeysuckle Road in Cartersville, for the alleged copyright violation.

Lee never responded to the lawsuit, so a default judgment was granted against her at $750 per song and $420 in court costs.

As evidence in the complaint, the plaintiffs — who include several major record labels — provided documents showing more than 20 pages of music and video files shared using peer-to-peer program Kazaa. The username of the Kazaa files was shown as ChristyLee@Kazaa.com.

This suit is only one of the RIAA’s massive lawsuit campaign to crack down on music pirates; several other suits have been filed locally.

According to the RIAA, in March more than 7.8 million households in the U.S. illegally downloaded music."
