Boston student Joel Tenenbaum was found guilty of infringement for illegal file-sharing and was ordered to pay $22,500 per song for a total of $675K. Even the defense presented by Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson, who joined Tenenbaum’s legal team early in the case, wasn’t enough and the verdict came down from the jury after less than 3 hours’ deliberation.
"I'm disappointed, but not surprised, but I'm thankful that it wasn't much bigger, that it wasn't millions," Tenenbaum told Ars after the verdict was announced. We asked him if he regrets not settling earlier on in the process. "Ask me in a couple of months," Tenenbaum replied. He also told Ars that he doesn't have the ability to pay the judgment and said that he'd be filing for bankruptcy if the award stands.
