Firstly the headline is incorrect. It should read "Huge fine for US illegal music online distributor". As far as I am aware it is legal to provide music or iTunes and all the other would not exist.
The music industry are trying to stop people who illegally distribute artist's copyrighted material via the internet. However my blog today is not the legal aspect but a reminder to all those non-techie people out there that whatever software you are using to download music from e.g. Kazaa just ensure that it is not using your My Documents folder to upload music and ensure you exit the software when you are finished or ensure that it is not set-up to allow access to your Music folder under the My Documents folder or any other folder you purchase music for downloading from...
I would like to close by saying that I do not condone the sharing of copyright material.
