Yep,

Music industry in the USA not much different......

The graduate student in physics, who most recently lived in Providence, is one of more than 18,000 recipients of letters from the Recording Industry Association of America demanding payment for illegal file sharing. Most have settled out of court for $3,000 to $5,000. The association recently stopped filing new suits after its practice proved a public-relations nightmare.

The only other defendant to go to trial was Jammie Thomas-Rasset of Minnesota, who faced similar allegations of file sharing. Last month, a federal jury in Minnesota sided with the record labels and awarded $80,000 per song, or a total of $1.92 million.

in this case, he kept agreeing to pay their demand, but each time, they would respond, no we now want more money....

It took longer than expected to pick a jury in US District Court, in part because several prospective jurors were disqualified after conceding they had downloaded music without paying for it.

If he's got that money he should move to China or Russia, and live a life of luxury, where the intellectual property was never heard off.

Visited it a few days ago, but the problem was they actually moderated it, which is a shame. Usually the berk gets left hung out to dry for the rest of the world to see.

Sounds like a total tit though.
