Apparently songs are worth $9250 each...Dumb Jury

In this case you have a woman who purchased cds, ripped them to her computer, and that's it. She didn't download the songs, she bought them, and nobody downloaded the songs from her. But they were on her computer, and in the RIAA world, "making available" is copyright infringement.

WHOA....wait a minute....so if I play my cassette radio REALLY loud while crusing the streets, and some dirtball junkie on the corner can hear the song that he didn't purchase, but which I am making available courtesy the loud volume.....is that considered infringement by the RIAA?

Please tell me I'm not breaking the law by inviting a ladyfriend over and putting on some smooth Al Green.

That's a pretty good list. I think I'm gonna make an RIAA mix tape.
