Los Angeles - A court in Finland has ordered a man found guilty of sharing 164 albums, and downloading 1,850 tracks, to pay a fine of about $4,230 as punishment, Ars Technica reported. The figure pales in comparison to the $1.92 million judgment rendered in the U.S. against Jammie Thomas -- who shared 24 songs -- or the $675,000 verdict against Joel Tenenbaum, who admitted to sharing 30 songs.
