Tenenbaum Faces Massive Lawsuit

Major music labels successfully sued a man named Joel Tenenbaum for illegally downloading and sharing 30 of their songs. Consequently, a jury ordered him to pay $675,000 (or $22,000 per song), which forced him to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2015. Ultimately, a judge discharged the $675,000 judgment in 2016.
