The recording industry sued thousands of individual file-sharers in an unprecedented campaign of lawsuits that began in 2003; but only two of those cases ever went to trial. Both resulted in large damage awards against the accused downloader. Now, one of the cases is on appeal, and defendant Joel Tenenbaum’s lawyers are arguing that the $675,000 damage award that the jury slapped him with violates his constitutional rights. During oral arguments held yesterday, a panel of judges appeared skeptical towards Tenenbaum’s claims?although they had sharp questions for the RIAA lawyers on the other side, as well.
