A house for 30 songs

A college student was ordered to pay $675,000 for downloading and sharing 30 songs. The law, who is supposed to protect the people, is being used to protect the profits of the recording corporations instead. And now this student and his family are ordered to shoulder a debt that could almost buy you a mansion in some parts. And for what, 30 songs? That's 3 CDs, the recording industry sells that for $30 - and you can listen to songs on YouTube for free, anyway!

It just doesn't add up.
