Although I don't agree with the strategy employed by the RIAA, largely because their business model is so ridiculously antiquated, the numbers aren't really that out of whack. Even if you just consider the 24 songs involved the distribution can easily start compiling pretty massive numbers. Add in the punitive damages for the willfulness of the action and it's a justifiable number.

I thought in civil cases the judge is the one who dolls out punishment, while the jury decides guilty or not guilty?
