One million dollars for seven songs.

Joel Tenenbaum has been accused by the recording industry of downloading and sharing seven songs on a popular file-sharing network, and the recording industry wants over one million dollars in return.

Professor Charles Nesson and a team of his students from Harvard Law are helping Joel defend himself against the recording companies by challenging the music industry’s unfair tactics.

This is our story.

It is your story too.

And we need your support.
