A woman in the United Kingdom was charged £2,600 (approximately $4,300) for downloading Neil Diamond's Best Of collection.

Katie Bryan, a math teacher from Lighthorne, South Warwickshire, downloaded the album while vacationing in South Africa and was unaware of the incurred roaming charges from mobile phone company Orange.

"It wasn't a particular song that I wanted to hear. I'm really not that big a Neil Diamond fan. And I'd already got his Essential Neil Diamond CD at home, in my car."

Orange agreed to lower the cost of the phone bill to £400.

"I think Orange are preying on people who make a mistake while abroad. Why such a massive difference in cost? In England you would just pay the album price," she told Contactmusic. "I also feel it is morally wrong to be expected to pay this sort of money for a Neil Diamond album."
