Beth Hudgens says she’s no pirate, despite what the recording industry contends.
The Montgomery woman on Thursday found out four record companies filed a federal lawsuit against her for illegally distributing copyrighted music on the Internet.
Hudgens is one of seven Alabamians targeted by the Recording Industry Association of America in a series of copyright infringement lawsuits filed this week.
The defendants face civil penalties that could reach into the thousands of dollars in damages and legal fees and $750 per illegally downloaded song, according to MusicUnited.org, a Web site that discourages illegal downloading of music.
