Rude Awakening for File Sharers

tales of woe are featured on front pages of newspapers everywhere -- the unemployed woman from Chicago, the Manhattan single mother, the 71-year-old grandfather in Texas, the Yale University photography professor.

Some said they assumed they were downloading music legitimately because they had paid a fee to file-sharing application providers.
