CAPITOL RECORDS V. THOMAS-RASSET; SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT V. TENENBAUM
Of the more than 17,000 individuals the major labels targeted for downloading and "sharing" songs through peer-to-peer networks, only Jammie Thomas-Rasset and Joel Tenenbaum fought all the way to trial. They both lost badly. A Minneapolis jury socked Thomas-Rasset with a whopping $1.9 million verdict for infringing 24 songs, and a Boston jury ordered Tenenbaum to pay $675,000 after he admitted to infringing 30 works.
OUCH!!!

crazy, eh! if i remember correctly, Jammie actually bought and owned the CD's for most of the songs she shared online. do you think she will bother to buy CD's ever again? I'm betting that now that she is bankrupt she will need to download songs for free! ;)
