A U.S. judge has ordered a Delaware man who sold copies of software packages on an Internet auction site to pay US$210,563 in damages and court costs, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) announced Monday.

Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California signed the order against Matthew Miller of Newark, Delaware, in May, but the BSA didn't get legal clearance to announce the decision until now, a spokesman of the trade group said." }-Story.

A fine and that's it, when he was actually selling copies? He got off pretty easy, you ask me.
