Accused File-Swapper Tenenbaum Admits Guilt at Trial

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 30, 2009 - 11:51am.
Boston - Accused file-swapper Joel Tenebaum admitted in court on Thursday that he did in fact offer songs for upload via his Kazaa file-sharing network account, according to published reports. It seems likely now that Tenenbaum's defense in the copyright infringement case brought by the recording industry will hinge on the damages he will have to pay. Tenenbaum's attorney, Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson, has argued that the $150,000-per-song maximum damage award under the law is unconstitutionally high, and does not reflect actual damages suffered by the labels.
