College Student Ordered to Pay $675,000 for Illegal Downloading

In only the second music downloading case against an individual to go to trial, NPR News reports that a Boston University grad student will pay a hefty fine for 30 songs, though he downloaded and shared "hundreds" by artists like Nirvana, the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, and others.
The student's lawyer plans to appeal, claiming he was not allowed to argue the case for fair use.
