I feel sorry for the guy, and maybe the fine is excessive, but If it puts the scare into the heads of kids that think it is okay to steal music, well, I'm not losing any sleep over it. I mean, if one can download a song for a buck, there is no excuse not to pay for it.

One good thing about digital, now every song has to be good, not just two or three on a CD. This has had the effect of more artists adding covers ( of good songs to make every song on the CD good ) to their CDs, so this is good for songwriters.


Added: In retrospect, the fine is excessive, really, it is.
