BOSTON - A federal jury on Friday ordered a Boston University graduate student, who admitted illegally downloading and sharing music online, to pay $675,000 to four record labels.
Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., admitted in court that he downloaded and distributed 30 songs. The only issue for the jury to decide was how much in damages to award the record labels.

File-Sharing Mom Fights Back
NEW YORK - If you share your music online, perhaps you should start saving now.
Last week we reported on a Minnesota mom who defended herself against the recording industry and got slapped with $1.92 million in fines for sharing 24 songs over the Internet.

MINNEAPOLIS - $1.92 million. That's the amount a federal jury ruled Thursday that a Minnesota mom who shared music on the Internet must pay the world's four largest record companies. That's $80,000 for each of the 24 songs she was charged with sharing.
“There's no way they're ever going to get that,” said Jammie Thomas-Rasset, a 32-year-old mother of four from the central Minnesota city of Brainerd. “I'm a mom, limited means, so I'm not going to worry about it now.”
Aside from the enormous sum awarded, Thomas-Rasset's case is unusual in that it is national's only file-sharing case to have gone to trial, not once, but twice.
