Record labels triumph in music-sharing case

A Minnesota woman has been ordered to pay $222,000 in damages after courts ruled in the favor of the recording industry in a copyright infringement case.

Jammie Thomas, 30, shared 24 songs that she downloaded using the online service Kazaa. Though the single mother of two claimed she had not used her Kazaa account to share music, the court was showed overwhelming evidence that she had offered 1,700 songs to other users. The case is being seen as a landmark victory for the record industry in their ongoing fight against people sharing songs online.

A statement from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) said: "We welcome the jury's decision. "The law here is clear, as are the consequences for breaking it." This case marks the first time a lawsuit by the RIAA has gone to trial, as in the past defendants have chosen to settle out of court. Brian Toder, Ms Thomas' attorney, told the Associated Press: "She was in tears. She's devastated.

"This is a girl that lives from paycheck to paycheck and now all of a sudden she could get a quarter of her paycheck garnished for the rest of her life."
