Depressed Scottish file-sharing nurse gets 3 yrs probation
Enormous karaoke stash 'boosted self-esteem'
What you need to know about cloud backup
Auxiliary nurse Anne Muir, 58, has become the first person to be convicted and sentenced for illegal filesharing in Scotland. The Ayr Sheriff's court has sentenced her to three years' probation after she admitted sharing a stash of more than 30,000 music files online.
Muir was charged by Strathclyde police following an investigation into complaints from record-biz bodies BFPI and IFPI, who calculated that Muir's stash of files – mostly composed of karaoke songs – would have cost £54,000 to acquire by legal means. She made a plea of guilty in an earlier hearing.
Muir's lawyer said that she had not profited financially from her activities, which had been undertaken solely to boost her self-esteem. She was also said to have been suffering from depression "for a number of years", the BBC reports. ®

Throw away the f*cking key!!
They should lock the EVIL 58 year old nurse up. The multi-billion pound recording industry must be protected from SCUM like 58 year old nurses AT ALL COSTS. How else are artists like [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] going to be able to pay for their coke and hookers?
Fuck the BFPI.
Re: Cost per Track
I think the way they work these things out is akin to the way they work out the 'street value' of big drug hauls ie out by quite a considerable amount.
She didn't steal, no theft occurred.
She violated copyright, she did not steal. But that doesn't sound scary enough I guess. Maybe until you understand English you should just stop talking.
