So the record industry is being sued for copyright infringement in Canada to the tune of around 60 billion dollars? What a delicious piece of cosmic irony. Nothing more to add.
The infringer has effectively already admitted owing at least $50 million and the full claim could exceed $60 billion. If the dollars don’t shock, the target of the lawsuit undoubtedly will: The defendants in the case are Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada, the four primary members of the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
The link has been updated to $6billion and not $60billion. Still a lot in unpaid royalties though!
