A woman has been ordered to pay $1.9 million (£1.2m) in the only file-sharing case to go to trial in the US.
A jury in Minnesota ruled Jammie Thomas-Rasset, 32, had violated music copyright and must pay damages to the record industry.
The mother of four from Minnesota was accused of illegally sharing 24 songs from artists including Sheryl Crow and Green Day.
Wow, if only they knew what was happening world wide :rolleyes:
Was this the one where she was found sharing the files over KaZaA and was battling in court against Virgin Records etc that was carried on from last year?
24songs lol? that is so ******* stupid
No that's 24 songs she's accused of downloading, she's probably downloaded thousands but she's getting away with them.Quote:
