Usenet.com, Inc. case, in which Arista Records requested the court calculate the damages by multiplying the maximum amount of damages ($150,000) by the number of infringements (878), or $131,700,000. The court found the defendants liable for $6,585,000, by multiplying the number of infringements by $7,500. In this case, Limewire is liable for 11000 works (songs).

red sox 777 05/20/12 8:12:00 PM #44:	In the past, this kind of accounting has worked for the RIAA in court because juries have gone along with their arguments and awarded damages in the hundreds of thousands to a million for relatively low numbers of uploads/downloads. But it won't work this time, because it's obvious to everyone that Limewire has not caused the RIAA 75 trillion in damages. This strategy of naming the absurdly high number is dangerous to the RIAA here, because it could finally create a precedent that their way of calculating damages is wrong. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1170724] in Limewire b...

red sox 777 05/20/12 8:14:00 PM #46:	I've never, ever heard of anyone being sued for a literally impossible amount though. Then again, I don't follow the lawsuit scene too much. It happens a lot. Although asking for a cartoonishly high number may be a bad idea because it could lower your credibility in the eyes of a jury. Then again, if this case gets to trial, there's a good chance the RIAA would have backpedaled on their number by then. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1170726] in Limewire b...

So, what they really need is fear- which can be generated by either precedent or by the threat of outrageously high damages. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1170727] in Limewire b...

MrGreenonion 05/20/12 8:31:00 PM #48:	"As Defendants note, Plaintiffs are suggesting an award that is 'more money than the entire music recording industry has made since Edison's invention of the phonograph in 1877.'" In roughly a decade of operation, LimeWire alone stole the ENTIRE RECORDED MUSIC INDUSTRY! This is separate from other filesharing services such as Napster, Kazaa, and BitTorrent, which have also stolen several music industries between them. -- SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...
