This Monday Supreme Court denied an appeal made by teenager, Whitney, from Texas she is being trialed for downloading music over the internet without having to pay for it. Whitney Harper confessed that she had used one of the file-sharing networks to download and share three dozen songs.
16-year-old Whitney, had appealed in the Supreme Court hoping for some leniency in the sum money she owes to the music companies, majorly Maverick Recording Co., to be reduced as she gave the argument of not-knowing that what she did amounted to copyright infringement.
