James V. Lewis was sued by the labels in August 2007 after an IP address flagged by MediaSentry was traced to his ISP account.

After a hearing held last week, the judge gave the RIAA what it was looking for: a default judgment in the amount of $3,000 plus an additional $420 in court costs. (Ars Technica)
