10 G's and no jail time? that's nothing. I would feel lucky if i was him. It sucks to be caught but if youre caught uploading that much i wouldnt be too upset at that outcome.

a DUI can cost more than that.

You gotta know when to quit, lay low for awhile and continue later. For that reason I only use approved mp3 subscription sites like Napster. Lets say that you rip your whole collection of originals onto your computer and somehow they were snoop into your PC and find all of your music, they go after you but you no longer have the originals to prove you did not obtain them illegally. What?s going to happen then? The RIAA has been using illegal practices to get individuals without knowing whether or not the music has been obtained legally. This dude had it coming though, uploaders are caught more frequently than downloaders, he was lucky indeed for only receiving monetary fines.
