Thats really the crux of the issue. From what I have read so far, it looks like the judge initially instructed the jury that the RIAA had to prove that violations took place.
Later, he changed his mind, and decided that making available was good enough.
Everything I have read, said she had about 24 songs shared, and that is about 9250$ per song. No one knows how many violations occured, if any. The 1700 violations appears to come out of thin air, there was zero proof of any of the songs actually being transferred, which is why this judgment is so insane.
