This was not just for downloading songs. Because of the way the file sharing system she used works, she made those songs available to millions of people. That's what got her into trouble. It was the distribution, not the downloading for personal use that landed her in this mess.

If she downloaded a single copy from a server, there would be no problem.

But why do people see music as being different than software? If she downloaded illegal copies of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Windows Vista, and Microsoft Office and shared them, would anyone argue that she broke the law?
