BOSTON – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has reinstated a $675,000 damages award against Boston University graduate student Joel Tenenbaum for illegal music downloading, but remanded the case for review of whether the verdict was excessive.
The Sept. 16 ruling in Sony BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum, 10-1883, reinstated the original July 2009 District of Massachusetts copyright infringement verdict, which boiled down to $22,500 for each of 30 songs.
