from the fark thread on it.

The RIAA's position is that Limewire-UserA is one infringement, Limewire-UserB is another infringement, Limewire-UserC is another infringement, etc. Limewire's position is that if all of those copies are with respect to one work, that they should all be aggregated. |

I think it's counting each user and each time the song was downloaded.
So if user A shared song B, to user C it would be one payment. If user A then shared song D with user E it would be another payment. If User A shared song B but with User E this time it would be another payment.
Basically I think they're working it so they can get the most ridiculous amount of money possible.
No idea how many users Limewire had, I used it once and it hurt to pee for like a month after.

FRANCE'S data privacy regulator said overnight it had imposed a record fine of €100,000 ($141,439) on Google for private information collected while compiling its panoramic Street View service.
"It is a record fine since we obtained the power in 2004 to impose financial sanctions in 2004," the head of the CNIL regulator, Yann Padova, was quoted as saying in the daily Le Parisien.
Google launched in 2007 its Street View service, which provides panoramic views of city streets, but its arrival in Europe sparked controversy over privacy concerns.
In addition to concerns about the photos taken, Google admitted in 2010 that its specially equipped cars taking the photographs were also picking up Wi-Fi data and had inadvertently captured unencrypted private data including passwords and e-mails.
CNIL, the National Commission for Information Freedom, said Google had pledged to erase all the private data, but that it had found "that Google has not refrained from using the data identifying Wi-Fi access points of individuals without their knowledge."
The regulator said it decided to impose the fine as this constituted "unfair collection" of information under French law and it had received economic benefits from the data.
Google once again apologised for having collected private data.
"As we have said before, we are profoundly sorry for having mistakenly collected payload data from unencrypted WiFi networks," said Google's lawyer for privacy issues, Peter Fleischer.
"Deleting the data has always been our priority, and we're happy the CNIL has given permission for us to do so," he added in a statement. |

Fine then, I don't understand how data they collected accidentally because of unsecured networks and deleted as soon as they found out about it counts as an invasion of privacy.

Just because people are too stupid to put passwords on their wifi doesn't make it legal to steal information from it. Sure they deserve it due to stupidity, but it's still against the law.

Doesn't stealing require intent? This was an accident due to the way there systems were set up. They got rid of it as soon as they found out they had it.
It's the equivalent of taking someones bag when you think it's yours realizing you've got the wrong one then giving it back.

I love how they throw around the term "hack" or "hacking." This student didn't hack anything, he merely accessed his server where the new file was uploaded automatically by his computer.
