After Jammie Thomas was dinged for $200,000 in her first trial for illegally sharing 24 songs, she got her wish: a retrial. Won’t get dinged again, right? (Get it? It’s The Who. Won’t Get Fooled Again. Get it?) Right. This time she got clobbered, to the tune of (pun intended) $2 million. That is just nuts. Anyway, the Recoding Industry Association of America isn’t gloating: “Spokesperson Cara Duckworth of the RIAA, who attended the trial, told reporters afterwards, ‘Since day one we have been willing to settle this case … and we remain willing to do so.’” Sounds like a good idea to me. However, Jammie Thomas remains defiant: “‘Good luck trying to get it from me … it’s like squeezing blood from a turnip.’” |
