24 songs =$1.9 million

In the post Napster era, some people still say it's silly to pay for music downloads.
The Recording Industry Association of America sued a woman who illegally downloaded 24 songs. A jury has awarded the recording industry $80,000 per song. That brings to total at the cash register to over 1.9 million dollars.

Actual retail price of each song: 99 cents. This is apparently the first music copyright infringement case to go in front of a jury.

The woman is appealing the award.
