Jammie Thomas, the Minnesota woman ordered to pay the record industry $220,000 USD for unauthorized sharing of music file is finally getting her chance to appeal the case, and may get to see the jury once more.

The music industry should work a way around this, i mean all this just gives them bad reputation.
An ipod costs around 200$ to fill it up u would have to clear ur account and probably sell ur car(most ppl)
this is non-sense, they need to drop their prices like for real, we see al this piracy going on in the us, europe where ppl are suppoused to have a higher income, guess how that's working in other countries.
all they have to do is lower the prices..
i am not going to pay 13.99 for a CD.. it is bound to scratch..
but if i go to the guy on the corner and buy a copy for 5 dollars..
i wont give a hoot if it scratches or not.. because i can go around the corner and spend another 5 to replace it.. and its still cheaper than 1 store purchased CD.
thats how most people think...
noticed when they dropped prices of ps3.. sales increased dramatically. Zomg!?
lets try it RIAA. lower CD cost.

The trouble is 2 fold what they can afford and what they can afford keeping their grand a day cocaine habit.
the media industry from games to music to film have "issues".
seriously though Jammie has to be the most stupid file sharer ever, i mean having her Kazaa user name the same as her email and other user names is beyond stupid.
I'm glad the case may be having a retrial as just because a file is in a shared folder does not mean that any files were actually shared, this just shows the rhetoric and bull crap that the RIAA spout to win their point.
Then these ass butts go off to congress and introduce bills like the Pro IP Act, The DMCA, The Spy Act Amendment.
Boycott anti-consumer RIAA, MPAA Companies, Ect, its the only way to stop Anti-Consumer.
