MP3.com had initially claimed victory following the original verdict, having been sued originally for $8.5 million by Tee Vee Tunes (TVT). It later transpired that jurors had omitted a zero in calculating the damages due on one juror’s Palm Pilot. The jury first said that a sum of $3,125 should be paid by MP3.com for certain tracks made available on its site without permission from the copyright owner, TVT. In fact, the jury's intended sum was $31,250 per track.
Judge Jed S. Rakoff yesterday ordered a new trial with a new jury.
