Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Woman sued over her music downloads.

it's not even about the extortion.

It's about the free publicity such as posts like this which will discourage additional people from engaging in the same behavior. It works. A certified letter threatening legal action or a payoff can modify peoples behavior, even the ones who dont recieve the letter. It's a page out of DirectTV's playbook.

IMHO laws need to be updated to give the consumer 'fair use', and to differentiate penalties between casual infractions of the law and profitable,criminal intent.
