Be very careful when downloading music!!!
--Jammie Thomas-Rasset Ordered to Pay US $1.92 Million in Music Downloading Case (June 18 & 19, 2009) On Thursday, a federal jury ruled that Minnesota mother Jammie Thomas-Rasset downloaded music files in "willful violation" of copyright law. The jury awarded the Recording Industry association of America
(RIAA) US $80,000 for each song Thomas downloaded, or US $1.92 million.
This is the second trial for Thomas-Rasset; the judge presiding at the first trial declared a mistrial because he said the instructions given to the jury had been incorrect. That trial had ended with a fine of US $9,250 for each of the 24 songs, a total of US $220,000.
