Jammie Thomas Verdict Thrown Out, Judge Orders New Trial in P2P Case
September 25, 2008
As early as yesterday morning, the music industry had a pocket full of kryptonite to use against the P2P community - the making available theory. It was a powerful theory that convinced a jury of Jammie Thomas' peers that the music industry was entitled to a whopping $220,000 reward in their copyright infringement case against her. Thomas was alleged to have a shared folder full of copyrighted work, and because she was making such files available, she was also distributing the work contrary to US copyright law.
