RIAA Without Limit - 1.5 Trillion lawsuit against LimeWire
This time, the RIAA filed a lawsuit demanding at best to recover $ 1.5 trillion from the file sharing service LimeWire explaining this by storing more than 200 million music files and copyright infringement of labels such as Arista Records, Atlantic Recording, BMG Music, Capitol records, Electra Entertaiment , Interscope Records, Motown Recording, Priority Records, LaFace Records, Sony BMG, UMG Recordings and Warner Bros Records.
The amount of the fine is based on the fact that the cost of the fine for each song is estimated at least 750 cu and probably the “human rights” one does not believe in the possibility of paying such a claim.
Moreover, it is reported that the court filed an application for the freezing of the company's assets. The defendant’s lawyers believe that this is unacceptable because the company, in addition to this service, is also developing other various digital technologies.
Limewire is currently receiving a two-week grace period in order to file a complaint.
Earlier in May of this year, the court had already recognized copyright infringement by LimeWire, although the case itself was started back in 2006, to which LimeWire then responded with a lawsuit against the RIAA, but lost.
