French Teacher Fined for File Sharing
"A schoolteacher was fined 10,200 euros (13,300 dollars) for uploading and downloading music on the Internet in France’s first big case designed to deter other peer-to-peer pirates.
"The 28-year-old teacher was ordered by a court in the Paris suburb of Pontoise to pay the money to copyright companies after being found guilty of illegally transferred 30 gigabytes of music files — the equivalent of around 10,000 songs, or 614 albums."
