RIAA without limit - a 1.5 trillion suit against LimeWire
This time, RIAA filed a lawsuit demanding to recover, at best, $ 1.5 trillion from the LimeWire file-sharing service, explaining that it had stored more than 200 million music files and copyright infringement of such labels as Arista Records, Atlantic Recording, BMG Music, Capitol records, Electra Entertaiment , Interscope Records, Motown Recording, Priority Records, LaFace Records, Sony BMG, UMG Recordings and Warner Bros Records. 
The amount of the fine is based on the fact that the cost of the fine for each composition is estimated to be at least 750 cu and probably the human rights advocate itself does not believe in the possibility of paying such a claim.
Moreover, it is reported that the court filed an application to freeze the company's assets. Lawyers for the defendant believe that this is unacceptable because the company in addition to this service is still developing various other digital technologies.
At the moment, Limewire gets a two-week delay in order to file an objection to the lawsuit.

Earlier in May, the court already recognized copyright infringement by LimeWire, although the case itself began back in 2006, to which LimeWire itself responded with a lawsuit against the RIAA, but lost.
