That's a travesty of justice to be honest. Even assuming she's in the wrong, nobody in their right mind would value a 24 recordings at 220K. They sell them for 99c on iTunes, how they were magnified into those numbers is beyond me.

I think the whole point is to set an example and to deter others from sharing music. I wonder exactly how they expect her to pay $220k out of pocket.
