Despite the societal saturation of iPods, iPhones, and iTunes, there are still a number of people that go about acquiring music the old fashioned way. Stealing it. But there is still a risk to ripping songs from the internet. Music companies continue to go after file-sharers or file-grabbers. Recently, a jury found a Brainard woman liable for her music thefts and ordered her to pay music companies $1.92 million ($80,000 per stolen song). The woman will likely settle for much less, but at this point she's gone through years of aggravation in court - and thousands in legal fees - and will have to pay something to the company eventually. Something to think about the next time you're seeking a "free" download.
