90. That's not entirely correct
The industry specifically tries to state that making a copy of a CD on your computer is illegal. And this isn't the first time either - if you read the entire article, a Sony lawyer made the exact same claim in a separate case - that copying a song is the same as "stealing a song".

I agree that they're using an unusual tactic to try and get a conviction here. Nobody's disputing the fact that the defendant wasn't engaging in file sharing. It's the way the music industry is going about it that is putting them at odds with everyone.
