The case of Atlantic V Anderson is a case where the Recording Industry charged a woman with copyright infringement and ended up paying $107,951 and admitting fault.
On copyright, I never advocate breaching copyright. I do feel that as a society we should be focusing on creating new works and not living off the proceeds of past works. Performers should make money by performing. Software writers should make money with enhancements to their software. No one should be be stifled because of worrying about infringing someone else's property rights.
There is no reason why this issue ever needed to reach the scale that it has. Penalizing litigious companies suing their own customers is an appropriate response to this activity.
