Jammie Thomas-Rasset
Jammie Thomas-Rasset (* 1977 ) is an American who was sued by Capitol Records for file sharing . Your case is set as a precedent .
She is accused of distributing 24 pieces of music through Kazaa . Your case is considered the first of several thousand cases in which the RIAA is taking legal action against illegal file sharing. She was first sentenced by a court to $ 222,000 in damages. The judgment was later overturned due to a procedural error.
The case was renegotiated in September 2008 in the Duluth District Court , Minnesota , based on the decision of Judge Michael J. Davis . The validity of the evidence was initially questioned. She was represented by Kiwi Camara. Jammie Thomas was sentenced on June 18, 2009 to a fine of $ 1.92 million. She appealed again. Her lawyer was Joe Sibley.
In January 2010, Judge Michael Davis reduced the fine to $ 2,250 per song. The American “only” has to pay a fine of $ 54,000. The prosecution and defense appealed the verdict.
In November 2010, the jury pronounced the verdict in the third trial against Jammie Thomas. She has been sentenced to a total of $ 1.5 million in damages. The jury set $ 62,500 for each song distributed by Jammie Thomas-Rasset. The defense has already announced further steps against the judgment to the US media.
A review was denied by the Supreme Court in March 2013 .
