Joel Tenenbaum, the graduate student who was convicted of illegally sharing 30 tracks via P2P will appeal his already reduced fine, says his lawyer.
Tenenbaum was originally fined $675,000, but the fine was reduced to $67,500 during the summer, after a judge deemed the original penalty unconstitutional and "excessive."
The student says he still cannot pay the reduced fine, and is seeking a further reduction.
If Tenenbaum gets his way, the RIAA says they will appeal any reduction.
"Sixty-seven-and-half thousand dollars only sounds reasonable because it was so much before," said the student.
