Libraries were always good for cheap or free sonsg

As you just copied the tapes, then ripped the cd's andf got your free or cheap music that way.

I don't have a problem with the record companies fining people as such, but it should be at a reasonable price. You downloaded 2 albums, well that's $10 an album you owe us.
Charge the real price of what they say is a lost sale.
I feel sorry for the guy, I'm surprised they didn't get it kicked out for picking on him and not on all the other people ;)
