A Teesside man received $18,000 (£11,000) a month in donations from people using his pirate music website, a court has heard.
Peter Makepeace, cross-examining the defendant for the prosecution, said: "The money was rolling in, wasn't it?
Mr Makepeace said: "You were a wealthy man for someone who had only been working a few months."
I don't know how much Makepeace earns, but I wouldn't consider someone who has £20,000 sitting in his bank accounts a wealthy man. Perhaps they forgot a zero or two somewhere.
