Washington – A court in the United States laid down a 1.9-million-dollar fine against a Minnesota woman who illegally downloaded 24 songs from the internet, CNN reported. The trial against Jammie Thomas-Rasset was the first case in the United States for such copyright infringement, CNN quoted her lawyer as saying.
Amazing, there was a jury that is either so far out of the loop, or just too old to care, that this unessasary example is being made of this poor woman.
I highly doubt that anyone stops downloading music because this lady was punished for it. Especially those people that download WAY more than 24 songs….try downloading 50 albums in 1 day…what then? Sentenced to death??
