After dropping a music piracy case against its best-known opponent, the recording industry has won a judgment against the woman's daughter. Michelle Santangelo was ordered to pay $30,750 for illegally downloading 41 songs. Santangelo's mother is Patricia Santangelo, who was sued by five record companies but denied downloading music. She refused to settle the case and took her case to the media, arguing that if her children had downloaded music, the file-sharing programs, not the parents, were to blame.

Michelle Santangelo was ordered to pay $750 for each of the 41 songs she is accused of downloading illegally — a total of $30,750 — because she failed to respond to the record companies’ claims.
