Jammie Thomas-Rasset has rejected a $25,000 settlement offer from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
"The RIAA accused Thomas-Rasset of illegally downloading and distributing 30 copyrighted songs belonging to six music labels," writes Computerworld's Jaikumar Vijayan. "Thomas-Rasset is one of thousands who have been sued for music piracy by the RIAA, but her case is one of only two that has gone to trial."
"But what I'd really like to know is whether the record companies were damaged to the tune of $200,000? $25,000? $1,920,000? Maybe a dollar? Maybe a billion? Which is it, RIAA?" asks The Inquisitr's Kim LaCapria.
"It is fairly clear that the RIAA companies are no longer in this one for the money, but want to make an example of Thomas-Rasset," writes The Inquirer's Ed Berridge. "Joe Sibley, an attorney for Thomas-Rasset, said his client will not settle. It is all the same, as she just doesn't have the money to pay any of the penalty amounts, and it would be financially ruinous."
