The piggy bank's probably not going to cover this one
Now, I’m sure many people have many views on this, but I’m still in shock about the amount that this poor woman was fined I’m under the impression that 29 songs is about 3 albums, which I’d say is about 20 quid? I’m pretty sure these songs wern’t on special.
Now, I’m not sure if you find this as funny as I do, but the best it is that she was originally fined $250,000 but it was a mistrail and obviously the music industry found some better lawyers.
It makes you wonder though, how exactly do they expect her to pay? If she’s got a good voice maybe they should take her on tour as some kind of “anti piracy extreme tour” it could definitely make a dent in fine!
Makes you appreciate Spotify that little bit more.
Thanks NME
