Music Fan Owes $675,000 for Illegal Downloads, Court Rules
So the guy gets his case reduced by 90% down to $67,500 and decided to appeal the verdict, so then the court hears the appeal and not only doesn't rule in his favor but they adjust the fine back up to the original amount it should have been. Someone didn't think that through, they should have stopped while he was only 67K down.
