The那个 paper文件 - “Grossly Excessive Penalties in the Battle Against Illegal File-Sharing: The Troubling Effects of Aggregating Minimum Statutory Damages for Copyright Infringement” by -“过度的刑罚,在战斗中,打击非法文件共享:令人不安的影响,总额为法定最低赔偿侵犯版权” J. Cam Barker j.凸轮巴克 argues that the file sharers sued by the RIAA have a认为文件共享控告RIAA表示,截止到有
constitutional right to pay much smaller penalties than the millions of dollars they can be liable for under copyright law’s minimum damages of $750 per song.宪法权利要付出小得多的刑罚比数百万美元,他们可以承担责任,根据著作权法的最低赔偿750元,每首歌。

In the authors own words:在作者自己的话来说:

In this paper, I argue that there is a constitutional right to not have a highly punitive statutory damage award stacked hundreds or thousands of times over for similar, low-reprehensibility misconduct.在本文中,我认为是有宪法权利,不具有高度的惩罚性赔偿的法定堆放数百或数千次的类似,低reprehensibility失当行为。 I point to the rationale behind criminal law’s single-larceny doctrine, identify the concept of wholly proportionate reprehensibility, and use this to explain why the massive aggregation of statutory damage awards can violate substantive due process.我指出,以背后的理据刑法的单盗窃的原则,确定的概念,完全相称的reprehensibility ,并以此解释为何大量聚集的法定损害赔偿可以违反实质性正当程序。

I conclude that massively aggregated awards of even the minimum statutory damages for illegal file-sharing will impose huge penalties and can be constitutionally infirm like the punitive damage award of Gore itself.我的结论是,大量聚集奖项连起码的法定损害赔偿的非法文件共享会施加巨大的罚款和可以在宪法上一样,体弱多病的惩罚性赔偿的戈尔本身。 Yet practical and institutional reasons will likely make this norm underenforced by the courts, pointing to Congress as the actor that should modify copyright law to remove the possibility of grossly excessive punishment.然而,实际的和体制的原因,将可能使这个规范underenforced由法院,指出向国会作为演员,应该修改著作权法,以消除的可能性,过度的惩罚。
