Record labels unhappy with court win, say ISP should pay more for user piracy

Quick Summary:

Music companies appeal, demanding payment for each song instead of each album.

Subscribers were flagged for infringement based on their IP addresses being connected to torrent downloads monitored by Rightscorp, a copyright-enforcement company used by the music labels.

The case is in the conservative-leaning US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
