I have no idea what you are trying to say. Your spelling is horrible.

What in the world, go back to elementary

its should not showed. your an idiot.

@Bulldawg-

Don't throw stones, bud. Your message is filled with errors, too. The 'i' should be capitalized, there should be a comma between 'showed' and 'should' and it is 'you're', not 'your'. Didn't your mama teach you that its rude to be so judgemental?

Translation: This is ridiculous. Maybe they should sue for other people listening to their music, only allow the person that purchased it to hear it. These money hungry, so called artists, are trying to put honest people into bankruptcy, another attempt of the so called ellitist to ride herd over the masses.

I don't get it. Did she make money on the song sharing? If not, what is she going to use to pay the judgment, air? Maybe she can sing them a song. I understand the idea behind the law suit, but give us a break, she didn't kill anyone or depirive anyone of their retirement the way some others have done in their scams. Think Maddof.

really jeepsters? "reticles"?? are you kidding me? "they showed sue"... "hones people"??????? and what is "elates ride"??????? please... use English so the rest of us can read it!

LOL I was thinking the same thing! I'm not even sure what reticles is...

This case should be decided like the old fable- the woman who sued to make a little boy pay for smelling her baked goods...the judge agreed...the boy should pay with the sound of money.
Not every person is capable of buying any and every bit a music they may like...once again society is being told that if you don't have money you don't deserve to enjoy something. So now if you're too poor to purchase music you should not be allowed to enjoy or be influenced by that music, or -if the powers that be have their way- even listen to it at all unless a fee is paid. This is not about compensation this is greed and avarice at it's best. Poor multi million dollar corporation and over compensated over adored musicians/victims. I feel so terrible for them, they won't be able to afford that gold plated fish tank- while my poor * can barely pay the mortgage much less spend twenty bucks on a cd... I don't deserve the pleasure and respite music may offer me in these tough times. I guess I should just suck it up, turn on the radio and hope the DJ plays a song I like.

I doesn't matter what the damages are, she will just file for bankruptcy and have all the charges dismissed.

She knew what she was doing was illegal. She should seriously consider to quit the fight before the rest of her life is ruined by this ridiculous debt.

She just needs to take the verdict and then turn around and file for bankruptcy. The record industry isn't going to see 1 penny as it is.

business as usual americans screwing other americans, what jerks!

haven't bought a cd since they sued her the first time. haven't downloaded either, sorry artist, get less greedy people to put your stuff out and we will do business again

greedy music company, bastards

Of all the stupid things to sue someone over...there are more serious issues to be delt with in the world...how about Capitol Records donating all that money to feed starving kids with?

OUTRAGEOUS AND RIDICULOUS !!

I am a banking CEO, and have just screwed lots of people out of a very large amount of money, but that is okay. I am a middle class person who broke the law and I should pay 1.5 million for 24 songs, okay, I get it. That is really funny, must be my imagination working overtime because it sure sounds like the world is going south quick!!!

the nerve of the record industry to go after someone for this silly infringement.
after seventy plus years of stealing from all the hard working singers and writer.
what a big joke.

the nerve of this record company to sue someone for infringement,after seventy plus
years of stealing from singer and writer. what a big joke. if I was on the jury panel Iwould
throw it out. capital record go and pay royalties to those that you owe.

I hope they get a huge judgement against the woman/idiot. Thereby sending a message: stealing material that is protected by copyright is akin to stealing items from a store, or hiring your local plumber to do some work and then not paying. Songwriters, and other creative craftspersons DON'T have corporate-controlled pensions or health plans (though few others do nowadays), and they DO have to pay their own taxes throughout the year. Royalities are their annuity. Illegal downloading (of songs, writing, etc.) is stealing. Period.
