Here is my take on Jammie Thomas
I think the weight of the evidence shows that she was using file
sharing software to obtain music. I think she angered bot the judge
and the jury by denying it.
Having said that, I think both the judge and the jury were bat-shit.
The RIAA is so lucky that I wasn't on the jury. It is simply crazy to
punish people more severely for downloading music than for shoplifting
the CDs.
