File Sharing Mom Appealing

[Demon_Skeith]

The single mother found liable last week for illegally sharing copyrighted music and ordered to pay $222,000 in damages says she will appeal the verdict.

Jammie Thomas’ attorney says they plan to be record companies' "worst nightmare," basing their appeal on the ruling that merely making recordings available violates copyright law.

Record labels have sued more than 26,000 people for alleged improper downloading and music-sharing in recent years, but Thomas' case was the first to go to trial….and subsequently she was the first to get her ass handed to her by the court.

Wow. She's an idiot. I doubt she'll get far with an appeal. I bet she'll try to pull the "I'm a single mother and I can't afford to buy the actual albums" card. *sigh*

she will make some stupid plea to get off

I don't know if she'll be able to. I think once a decision is made on her appeal, that's it. Since she already had a judgement against her, I think if they deny her appeal, she has to go with the judgement already against her.
