Klamath Falls (Oregon) family learns high cost of free songs

Leslie Maxfield has got a case of the downloading blues.

His Klamath Falls family owes more than $4,000 after reaching a settlement with record companies over the illegal downloading of 834 rock and country songs.

With an Aug. 12 deadline approaching, Maxfield has yet to pay the settlement and he’s not sure if he can.

“I’ve got about a week and they’ll be wanting their money, and I don’t know what to do,’’ said Maxfield, a 51-year-old cabinet maker. “They’re trying to get blood out of a turnip.

    834 songs? If anything they ought to just make her pay for the COUNTRY songs she downloaded. Listening to country music is the true crime here :)
