Joel Tenenbaum

Who is Joel Tenenbaum?

Joel Tenenbaum is a Boston University graduate student who used the KaZaA peer to peer network to infringe copyrights in 30 sound recordings.

Why is this case affect people who illegally share and download music?

This can affect other people who illegally download and share music because this means that the companies are cracking down on those who are downloading illegally. So people who are should stop so they don't end up in Joel's situation.

How does this case affect Apple and other distributors of legal digital content?

This case affects Apple and other distributions because I know that one reason people buy Macs is because they don't get viruses which makes it a lot easier to download stuff illegally off the internet. I know on my desktop at home, which is not a Mac, got a very bad virus and we had to get a new computer. It might have been from Limewire. So we don't use it anymore. They higher the prices get to download songs, the more people are going to try to download illegally. Which may cause more fees for Apple.

"They are picking on Apple because they say Apple is making a bundle of money," Potter said.
