Boston
– A federal court has ordered attorney and Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson
to pay $2,249 in attorneys’ fees to the major record label who sued his client,
student Joel Tenenbaum, for copyright infringement on a file-sharing
network, the Recording Industry vs The People blog reports.

The court already
found Tenenbaum guilty and ordered him to pay $675,000 in damages; in January,
Tenebaum’s attorneys petitioned the court for a new trial.

The case at hand
concerned Nesson’s failure to produce certain items requested during the
discovery portion of the file-sharing lawsuit.

Plaintiff Sony (NYSE:  SNE) BMG said it was then
forced to file a motion to compel production of the items, and sued Nesson for
the attorney’s fees related to filing that motion.

  1. Now if the record companies could explain the math of how 27 songs are worth $675,000….

    obviously, the whole shooting match is completely out of whack. duh.
