"Does $75 trillion even exist? The thirteen record companies that are suing file-sharing company Lime Wire for copyright infringement certainly thought so. When they won a summary judgment ruling last May they demanded damages that could reach this mind-boggling amount, which is more than five times the national debt. Manhattan federal district court judge Kimba Wood, however, saw things differently. She labeled the record companies' damages request 'absurd' and contrary to copyright laws in a 14-page opinion." Wait, this is only five time the US national debt? Fascinating.
“75万亿美元真的存在吗？控告文件共享公司Lime Wire版权侵犯的13家唱片公司一定也想过这个问题。去年五月，当它们赢得一场简易判决案件（a summary judgment ruling）之时，它们提出了一个天价的索赔金额----比五倍于国债还多。然而，曼哈顿岛联邦地方法院的法官judge Kimba Wood，一样地看待这一问题。她以14页意见书，裁定这些唱片公司之索赔‘荒诞的’和违背版权法的。等等，这只有US国债的五倍？太好玩了。
