THE ONLY person to be successfully sued by the RIAA says that she will appeal the verdict.
Jammie Thomas, from Minnesota, was told to pay the recording industry $222,000 for P2P copyright violations related to sharing songs.
According to News.com, the basis of the appeal was a Judge's ruling that the RIAA did not have to prove that anyone downloaded any of the tracks that Thomas stuck online.
She said if she succeeds this would stop the RIAA dead in its tracks as every suit it has brought has been based on this "making-available theory". The RIAA would have to prove a file was shared.
The jury had decided that Thomas had not downloaded any music. Instead, thanks to the judge's ruling, they decided that she had made the songs " available".

I think She's better off selling all her possessions and moving to Canada or some other country since if she loses again, she have to pay the 220 000 and more legal fees.
