I sure hope these idiot jurors get a taste of their own compassion one day. A few hundred dollars and court cost at most should have been the punishment. MAYBE, and I stress the maybe, baby, some jail time. Secondly, piracy hurts people the same way you not getting a pay check for working hurts you. Sure, nothing tangible was taken ... but that is also true when you don't get paid. The award was way overboard. I sure hope these idiot jurors get a taste of their own compassion one day.

Everyone knows that Jammie can’t pay $1.92 million so why fine her that much. She should sue for being made the one out of many to be made an example of rather than being treated equally by the law. ….it only works if you believe in it… The Law is supposed to treat each case equally not make a ridiculous example of one particular case of many..

However, to answer the question regading how they come up with the cost of 1 song = $80,000, i've heard in other cases they work out how many people were supposedly final recipents of the song initially being uploaded. If it's 80,000 people then the song is worth $80,000. In this case they probably pulled the number out of their bottoms but that's they calculation they probably put forward to the Jury.
