Jammie Thomas to appeal $222,000 RIAA file-sharing suit

October 09th, 2007 | Category: Law

Nothing’s been filed yet, but Jammie Thomas and her lawyer were on CNN nowadays discussing that ridiculous $222,000 damage award for sharing songs on Kazaa and confirmed that they will, in fact, appeal. The exact nature of the appeal is still up in the air, but Thomas’ lawyer says it’ll have to do with whether or not Thomas actually transferred a song to another Kazaa user or just made it available on the network. That’s

a pretty unsettled part of the law and a fairly weak part of the RIAA’s case, but we’ll have to wait and see what the actual appeal says before we’ll have an notion of how that will play out. Peep the full interview on CNN at the read link.
