A 32-year-old Minnesota mother of four was fined $1.9 million Thursday for the illegal downloads of 24 songs — all available for 99 cents each, CNN reported on its Web site.
Jammie Thomas-Rasset’s attorney, Joe Sibley, said he would appeal the federal jury’s decision that works out to $80,000 per song. CNN reported it was the first such copyright infringement case to go to trial in America. The jury could have awarded up to $150,000 per song.

Ok, now that's a way too much. I feel really bad for her. And doesn't everyone download music illegally nowadays? lol.
But yeah, that makes me feel a little bit nervous...
