Aren’t there laws designed to protect individuals from such excessive litigation?

So had she stole the CD she would have got a misdemeanor charge of shoplifting ........?

RIAAsshats have quite the racket going on as well......she didn’t even steal the packaging or the media and they up the price by one point somethin mil.......LOL !

She’s a criminal ....and they caught her good !

Has anyone gone after them for all the CD’s they sold in the 80’s that seem to have degraded due the faulty media they sold em on. Even my old 8 tracks, cassettes and LP’s (33’s and 78’s) still play albeit a weee bit scratchy here and there.

Oh well.....most of the time I listen to xm radio anyway.

Prosecutor pick on the poor and those least able to defend themselves.

Why was it necessary that the headline identify her as single mother? Do single mothers have special rights?

I wonder what she would have gotten if she killed someone while robbing a store of a big handful of CDs?

n what turned out to be a nightmare for the defendant, a federal jury on Thursday ruled that Jammie Thomas-Rasset willfully violated the copyrights on 24 songs. Record companies were awarded $80,000 per song, for a total of $1.92 million.

Why is this a nightmare? It's not like she'll ever pay a penny of it. Now those $3500 settlements are more frightening. People can grudgingly scrounge up that kind of cash and bite the bullet to make the RIAA go away. $1.92 million? Might as well have been a billion. This kind of verdict will just encourage more downloading. What are they gonna do? Sue me for a million bucks? Good luck collecting that!
