RIAA v. Tenenbaum is a court case wherein the Recording Industry Association of America accuses Joel Tenenbaum of illegally downloading and uploading files, thus violating U.S. copyright law. It is only the second such case (after Capitol v. Thomas) to come to trial, a large number previously having been settled out of court. After the judge entered a finding of liability, a jury assessed damages of $675,000, although Tenenbaum and his lawyers plan an appeal.
