The RIAA's Still Watching, Fining Heavily

According to a recent article by Electronic House, each song amounted up to a hefty $80,000 each. Yeah, that new Lady Gaga single? Damages done by that song amount up to about four of those 103-inch plasma screens we were looking at the other day. Or about the combined annual income of the average married couple in the U.S.

The mother of four quoted: “There’s no way they’re ever going to get that. … I’m a mom, limited means, so I’m not going to worry about it now.” We’re not too sure how we’d react to a such a ridiculous amount ourselves, but we’re pretty sure it’d be more or less along the same lines; sheer disbelief.
