I can believe the asking price was $72T b/c the MAFIAA is that unrealistic and absurd.

This story doesn’t appear to be in any way accurate. See:

If i were a judge and got presented with this, I’d seriously consider holding RIAA in contempt of court for putting forward such an idiotic claim

note to self… when creating ingenious software don’t use real names or anything that can be directly linked to you… on a more serious perspective piracy will never… NEVER!!! die… it’s impossible to track down everyone who has every pirated these big execs just want to milk everyone dry…

Those jerk-offs should be lucky to get anything at all. This is a frivolous lawsuit just because of the amount that they are seeking.

They need to learn to just drop it.
