RIAA wins judgement against soccer mom's daughter

Snip from AP story:

Less than a month after the recording industry dropped a music piracy case against a well-known opponent, it has won a default judgment against her 20-year-old daughter.

Judge Stephen C. Robinson of United States District Court ordered the daughter, Michelle Santangelo, to pay $750 for each of the 41 songs she is accused of downloading illegally -- a total of $30,750 -- because she failed to respond to the record companies' claims.

It was not clear whether the default judgment would end the case. Under federal rules, such judgments are often later set aside so lawsuits can be decided on their merits.
