The music industry is rich, bloated, and bullying. They aren't protecting the artist, or themselves. They are simply trying to make a statement. If we take the music industry, or the gaming industry's view of piracy, they are all driving late 70's Chevies, and living under bridges based on the sheer number of pirated songs/games.

The justifiable amount that should have been paid is the cost per download of each song, $0.99 each. Unless they can document that she shared that many copies, then it's just a revenge thing. My the fuss when Metallica sued Napster, a situation where the RIAA was strangely quiet. However, the same comments made about Metallica then apply now.
