No, I hadn't heard but it doesn't surprise me. It was just kinda scary when it happened, almost literally, in my own backyard.

And seriously? I'm not the worst "offender" by far. Then again, the people they are planning on prosecuting had only downloaded 1000, 2000 songs. Not a lot in the big picture. I could probably even do the jail time and 'extended supervision', but they're planning on asking for somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000 each in restitution! Y'know ... if I had that kind of money I would probably just buy my music legally.

Once Napster went down I knew it was only a matter of time. Just figured they'd start on the coasts and work their way in to the Midwest. Silly me.

And pardon me for asking, but: "aren't they all rich enough?"
