Song downloads: student fined a fortune must destroy files

Interesting read, given that we are talking about copyright and music

A graduate student who must pay four record labels a combined $US675,000 ($740,500) in damages for downloading and sharing songs online has been ordered to destroy his illegal music files - but a judge declined to force him to stop promoting the activity that got him in trouble.
