A Boston University student, 25 year-old Joel Tenenbaum, is on trial in a lawsuit brought against him by the recording industry. He is accused on illegally downloading and distributing music online. Although only 30 songs are at issue in the case, the plaintiffs claim Tenenbaum has downloaded and distributed thousands of songs online.

Tenenbaum is represented by Harvard law professor Charles Nesson. Last month, in the first music downloading case to go to trial, a federal jury awarded $1.9 million in damages against a Minnesota woman for copyright infringement.
