Not long after the court battle defeat with LimeWire, RIAA is demanding that LimeWire pay them 1.5 trillion dollars to cover the over 200 billion illegal downloads made with the LimeWire P2P software. After the math is done, that brings the cost of just one download to $750.00. If this money is awarded to the RIAA, they have plans to split the total amount among several record labels which include Motown, Warner Bros, and Sony BMG. Along with this huge amount of money, they are also requesting that all of the companies assets be frozen and the LimeWire service be shutdown. Although some may agree with this move, the 1.5 trillion may be a bit much for LimeWire to pay. However, the saying goes if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
