Correct me if I'm wrong (and I might be, as I'm not American) but if a defendant in a legal suit like this one, in the US, is not able to pay the damages, doesn't it require the federal US government of the day to pay the damages to the plaintiff?
If so, just what exactly is the music industry trying to accomplish here? Bankrupting America?

$75 trillion? How the heck did they even come up with that number?

Having been around "musicians" in high school band ... many many many years ago ... I am aware of inflated egos associated with those involved in music. I can only imagine how inflated they are at the executive level.

Well to shine some light on US law. No, if the defendant cannot pay the sum, they simply bankrupt themselves. US government doesn't need to do anything in this case.
I will say though that this is absolutely... wtf.

Copyright Law needs to be changed so that these... "media copyrights" have an expiration of less than 20-40 years - unless the original creator is still alive.
