US SENATOR CRITICIZES P2P FINES

------------------------------------------------------------

US Senator Norm Coleman has questioned the current

legislation that makes it possible for RIAA to request for

fines between $750 and $150,000 per song needs a dose of sanity.



According to senator Coleman the law forces people to

settle with the plaintiff out of fear, and without challenge.



"The range of penalties was put in when downloading wasn't

even thought of. I can tell you that $150,000 per song is

not reasonable, and that's technically what you can put in

front of somebody," Coleman said in a conference call with

reporters. "That forces people to settle when they may want

to fight, but they're thinking, 'Goodness, gracious, what am

I going to face?' "



Instead of DMCA subpoenas being processed by clerks,

Coleman would like to see the law changed so that some

judicial review would be included. So far RIAA has filed

lawsuits against a 12-year-old girl (settled out of court

for $2,000) and a 65-year-old grandmother (RIAA dropped

charges), so there's definitely room for critizism.

Norm Coleman is one of the 2 Senators form my state and I was wondering, after he was elected last year, if when he entered the Senate chambers all the other Senators would yell "NORM!!!" ala Cheers.
