RIAA appeals Thomas-Rasset case

article published on 23 August, 2011

As expected, the RIAA has appealed the latest Jammie Thomas-Rasset decision.

I would imagine this appeal going no where at this point. Like how many times has this case been appealed? Sooner or later the judge is just going to ream on the RIAA for wasting tax payers $.
