However, he’s not afraid to tweak the facts a little, or tell outright lies, for that matter. At one point he states that the fine is “$250,000 per infraction” which is a complete lie. As regular readers and followers of US copyright infringement cases know, the maximum damages that can be awarded per infraction is $150,000 not $250,000 (USC Title 17, § 504 (c)(2)).

What "Observers", exactly? RIAA scumbag-sympathizers? Don't trust ANY article or story which relies on obfuscations such as "scientists say" or "observers believe" or similar. Wikipedia describes that as "weasel words", and -- rightly -- views it as indicative of, at the very least, sloppy reporting.
