The jury in federal beroepsrechtbank the damages Joel Tenenbaum to the music industry have to pay is maintained. There was proven to be considered that Tenenbaum for 30 songs shared and set the fee where the music labels are entitled to 22.500 dollar per song.

The beroepsrechtbank ceased a previous ruling by a higher court in the U.S. as of August 2012. The judgment follows on from a refusal of the Supreme Court of the U.S. last year, to dealing with the case, writes the Boston Herald.

Promotes the interests of the music industry, the RIAA, started the case against Joel Tenenbaum, a student from Boston, in 2003. At the time, were thousands of users of Napster and Limewire contacted by record labels. The RIAA wanted a fee of 3,500 dollars, but Tenenbaum wanted only up to $ 500 to pay: the amount of the thirty albums.

After years of legal battle, the amount so incurred up to 22.500 dollar, for sharing thirty songs. What meewoog for the jury was the claim that Tenenbaum continued to the parts of the tracks after several warnings. “He made thousands of songs are illegally available and denied after the discovery of the responsible”, says the judgment.
