    SOLUTION : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capito..._Thomas-Rasset


    Capitol Records, Inc. v. Thomas-Rasset was the first file-sharingcopyright infringementlawsuit in the United States brought by major record labels to be tried before a jury. The defendant, Jammie Thomas-Rasset, was found liable to the plaintiff record company for making 24 songs available to the public for free on the Kazaa file sharing service and ordered to pay $220,000.
    Before filing suit, Capitol Records offered to settle for $5,000, but Thomas-Rasset declined. The ultimate damage order came after several trials and appeals in 2007-2013. The damage award at one stage reached $1,920,000.

    There were many follow up court cases and appeals and in the end the number went down about but in 2022 she still hasn't paid a dime. This case got huge publicity down here

    lol a million dollars for 24 songs

    I am not checking all of these but: Hollies, Wish You Were Here, Venus and Mars and Pieces of Eight were all album covers designed by Hipgnosis so I'm going with that as the answer.
