Just when you thought it was safe to get yer KAZA on… It’s actually only $1.92 million but what difference can $80K make when you’re busy rockin’ out to Journey or Sheryl Crow? I must have been living under a rock or something but I thought the RIAA had backed away from this PR nightmare. Apparently they’ve stopped filing new suits but are still going after folks still in the litigation pipeline. From WIRED magazine: “A federal jury on Thursday found Jammie Thomas-Rasset liable in the nation’s only Recording Industry Association of America file-sharing case to go to trial, dinging her $1.92 million for infringing 24 songs” Click on the picture above for the full story.
So here’s the world’s most expensive playlist:
- Guns N Roses “Welcome to the Jungle”; “November Rain”
- Vanessa Williams “Save the Best for Last”
- Janet Jackson “Let’s What Awhile”
- Gloria Estefan “Here We Are”; “Coming Out of the Heart”; “Rhythm is Gonna Get You”
- Goo Goo Dolls “Iris”
- Journey “Faithfully”; “Don’t Stop Believing”
- Sara McLachlan “Possession”; “Building a Mystery”
- Aerosmith “Cryin’”
- Linkin Park “One Step Closer”
- Def Leppard “Pour Some Sugar on Me”
- Reba McEntire “One Honest Heart”
- Bryan Adams “Somebody”
- No Doubt “Bathwater”; “Hella Good”; “Different People”
- Sheryl Crow “Run Baby Run”
- Richard Marx “Now and Forever”
- Destiny’s Child “Bills, Bills, Bills”
- Green Day “Basket Case”
Heh, heh: “Run Baby Run” from those “Bills, Bills, Bills” before “Somebody” starts you “Cryin’” like a “Basket Case” in the “November Rain.” At $80,000 per song that stab at humor would cost me half a mill…
