Jammie Thomas judgment lowered from $1.5 million to $54000
A court has once again lowered the damages award for Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the Minnesota woman found liable for copyright infringement
Rasset was ordered to pay $62,500 for each of the infringing acts she was accused of uploading to the Web but now that sum was lowered to $2,250 per song. The total damages award she is required to pay now has gone down from $1.5 million to $54,000. Lawyer and blogger Ben Sheffner was first to report the case.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) accused Thomas-Rasset of copyright infringement in 2006 and the case has gone back and forth ever since. First, Thomas-Rasset refused to settle the copyright complaint brought against her by the RIAA, the labels' trade group. Then, two juries found her liable for large awards but both of those were overturned by judges.
Last year, a third jury of her peers vote against her. Since she had already been found liable of copyright infringement, the jury was tasked only with determining what she should pay in damages. They came down hard, assessing an amount of $62,500 for each of the 24 songs she was accused of illegally sharing. The total she owes is now $1.5 million.

How to Copyright a Song in 3 Easy Steps | Your-Income-Info
You know I hate to bring this up, but when you have copyrights in place and there violated and in my case I am working with the enforcement division of the copyrights office and since its a violation of federal law, reported to the FBI. But copyrights enforcement is a tedious process and you have to contact the attorney generals office of the state in which the perpetrator lives and provide prosecutors evidence. You should mention enforcement too.
@dbeni4567 You would use SR sound recording form. Don’t send them in, cost more and takes longer, upload them via the electronic copyright site, eCO at .gov website, if your infringed send a dmca infringement notification and keep a copy of each one you send in case you have to prove felony *willful infringement to the enforcement department the copyright office. You can fax those in for a seperate file.
When I registered my collection, I did using the PA online form. That was in the beta testing in 2008. One important thing you left out is that they assign a 10 digit case number when you finish uploading your deposits and that it takes about 4 months to get the certificate of copyright. the effective date of registration is the day the Copyright Office receives a complete submission and assigns the 10 digit case number.
kinda dissappointed you did not point mention how much more easier it is by registering online eCO and making upload deposits. Also you breifly skirted over an important detail in 7:04 and rather you want to anonymous are us a pseudonym. I wish you would have mentioned how much easier it was to just upload deposits as they refer to them and register online with eCO eCO has improved since I first registered in 2008. Your video is good but it is so much easier to register online with eCO.
You should have pointed out the fact the eCO will allow you to file under a pseudonym and you might should have mentioned the motion picture visual arts and the fact you can file in a collection for a lower fee. I filed in 2008 so I know about the beta testing. They have since discontinued that. When you upload a video what they refer to as a deposit at copyright dottttt govvvvv , you can title the collection and make additional upload deposits for the same fee saving money.
25 per song, but if Dashaun on it or sumn his uncle will pay.

true but that's a totally different model. Pay per song.
My dad just yelled at me over $20. I don't see why we have to pay so much for one song anyway. I think $10 per song is more reasonable.Pay Per Song - Bookshelf
