When it comes to total damages, the disparities are even greater. Thomas-Rasset’s retrial ended up with a $1.92 million award, while Tenenbaum faces $675,000 in damages. Those who didn’t show up owe around $7,500.
I was interested more in what happens within the federal court system for this article, but several commenters rightly point out that “not showing up” isn’t the cheapest way out of such situations. Settling with the RIAA usually leads to payments of between $3,000 and $5,000, lower than the default judgments issued here by Judge Gertner. Convincing a jury that you’re innocent could be cheaper still (if you find a pro bono lawyer), though it comes with certain obvious risks.
Well that was useful, now everybody is scared of the big bad Riaa…. everybody stopped dowloading right? When are people going to understand to stop being against change, embrace it !

“Music ringtones practically boomed overnight, but with two consecutive years of decline it seems the industry is exiting just as rapidly as it entered,” said Toon van Beeck, senior analyst with IBISWorld. “And with the ringtone market already reaching its decline stage, its life cycle is only expected to last about 15 years.”
This is not a good look for T-pain, Soulja Boy and them…lol

I had beef with Nuendo about monitoring an effect on the input track without the effect being pronted on the track and this is the only place I found my answers!!!!!!
Monitoring with effects in Cubase/Nuendo can either be through input channels or through regular channels.
To do this, load any effect you want as an insert. Once loaded, set the input or channel to monitor by clicking on the “Monitor” icon. You should now be able to monitor with effect.
Bear in mind the following:
You will NOT be able to Monitor with effects if Cubase/Nuendo is set to Direct Monitoring in the VST Multi-track settings.
When monitoring with effects on input channels during the recording process, the audio will be recorded with the effect.
When monitoring with effects on channels during the recording process, the audio will NOT be recorded with the effect.
This is an amazing concept by vodaphone. People vote on twitter (#RealTimeTop40) for their favorite song (that’s of course) available on the Vodafone Music Store (at vodafonemusic.co.uk ) You can see in real-time What’s Hot and What’s not.
If I was an artist and I managed to get my songs on the Vodafone music store, I would starta marketing campaign with twitter and my associates to get my chart ranking up…. Is it the first time you can see a somewhat important chart live?????
This is a song I co-wrote and co-produced on the gold selling record Soul Rebel in 05. That’s him performing it in front of a big audience of girls that know all my words by heart.
