Harvard Law's Charles Nesson to Appeal File-Sharing Damages

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on August 11, 2009 - 12:32pm.
Boston - The New York Times and Ars Technica both published interviews on Tuesday with Charles Nesson, the Harvard Law professor who failed to get admitted file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum off the hook from copyright infringement charges brought by the major record labels. A federal judge declared Tenenbaum guilty, after which a jury ordered him to pay the labels $675,000 in damages. Nesson told The Times he is "counting on winning on appeal," will ask for a reduced penalty at an upcoming hearing, and still plans on pursuing a class action suit against the labels over their litigation campaign against file-swappers.
