Did she upload or download? I don't think the law allows awarding 80,000 times the actual damages. 
Can we objectively rate speaker cables?
No, you cannot rate speaker cable this way. Speaker cable has no "sound" of its own. A speaker cable can "sound" warm and slow in one system but detailed and open in another. Amp, speaker cable, and speaker must be viewed as a whole.
