From Inside Counsel:
Woman to pay $9,250 per song in file-sharing case
8th Circuit approves damages, declines to say file-sharing violates Copyright Act
Jammie Thomas-Rassett, known as the “Download Martyr” for reasons that will soon become abundantly clear, downloaded 24 songs on the late music sharing service Kazaa, including such gems as Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” Actually, she had a folder of about 1,700 songs, but for the purposes of the lawsuit they brought against her, record labels including Capitol Records Inc. and Warner Bros. Records just considered 24 songs.
Why does Hollywood extort money from single mothers and kids, but every time there’s a terrorist attack, assassination, fatwa, or threat with regard to the lives and properties involved in the entertainment business, they duck under to like cowards?
