Imeem, the popular music site, didn't even defend itself in court, and they lost big.
U.S. District Court Judge Denny Chin has fined the music site $1.77 million for copyright infringement. It seems The Orchard wanted Imeem to pay $150,000 per instance of infringement.
Imeem sold some of it's assets to MySpace, and folded. Imeem executives blame the lawsuit for shutting the doors.
How sad, the Web 2.0 music sites are eating their own. Please note The Orchard used copyright law just like the big boys. This Robert wonders if The Orchard is going to see any of this $?
