Record Companies Sue Limewire for $75 Trillion

Rob Williams · 03-23-2011, 05:03 PM

In what might be the most ridiculous demand for damages ever witnessed, various companies in the recording industry are mass-suing file-sharing service Limewire for a total of $75 trillion. Yes, trillion... as in 75 followed by 12 zeros. Does the entire world's wealth added together even amount to $75 trillion? It's hard to say, but it wouldn't be surpassed by much.

Apparently Limewire should be expected to come up with 60% of that.

+1 for Optix and his .gif.

Yup... proof that a case like this should be thrown right out and those who came up with this settlement be checked for mental stability.
