Snip from AP story:
Less than a month after the
recording industry dropped a music piracy case against a
well-known opponent, it has won a default judgment against her
20-year-old daughter.Judge Stephen C. Robinson of United States District Court
ordered the daughter, Michelle Santangelo, to pay $750 for
each of the 41 songs she is accused of downloading illegally
— a total of $30,750 — because she failed to respond to the
record companies' claims.It was not clear whether the default judgment would end the
case. Under federal rules, such judgments are often later set
aside so lawsuits can be decided on their merits.
