Go ahead and discuss.

I'll be damned if statutory damages isn't messed up. Basically Congress has said the bare minimum for copyright infringement is $200 per case. How they calculated the damage was that the server had 490K+ people. So they charged $200...

For each person on the server.

I may not like the woman (she used the donations irresponsibly) but damned if this isn't just a smidge harsh.
