Mom fined $22,500 for music downloads

Hey, we do pay; it's not our fault the labels chose to give away their russian money

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Me, I'd rather not be giving my credit card to the Russian mob.

As with that post the other day about piracy not being stealing I would have to say that it is not 'shoplifting.' However she was distributing and not just downloading for private use (sampling as she called) not that this is legal either.

In NZ it is still illegal to transfer legally purchased music on a CD to a computer or an MP3 player.

You're kidding me right?! Thats ridiculous! I'd never heard about that before here. Are there any petitions or anything to sort this thing out?
