Where are you getting 30 million from? Her initial fine was $220k, a later appeal upped it to 1.2 mil, then back to $54k, and the final ruling was $220k. (Source: wikipedia.) Which is still a crazy result, but it helps no one to make up numbers that are several orders of magnitude higher than the real ones. |

The sum you mention was the 1st amount, on appeal this was raised to $1,920,000, then lowered to $54,000, appealed again to $1,500,000, then appealed to $54,000, appealed finally in 2013 to $220,000.
She denied ever using Kazaa and no such files were recovered from her hard drive.
Conviction was on IP address alone from MediaSentry.

Over six years in court, mess your life up some, threats began in 2005, so 8 years of harrasment over 24 songs.
IMHO the many years she was dragged through the courts already more than sufficient.
Flippin bonkers.
