I think the point is that it was willful infringement. That is, they told 
her to stop, she said "bite me", so the fine includes punishment as well as 
restitution. Lying to the judge doesn't help, either.

Not that the fine is reasonable, mind. But it's reasonable in this case for 
the fine to be greater than the cost of paying for the files copied.
