Woman fined $1.9 million for downloading music

I think we should start using disposable computers, like a mini hand held device only for downloading illegal stuff... Transfer the files to your external drive, and dispose the rest, they'll never know what hit them, HAHAHAHAH!!!!

These kind of verdict pisses me off to no end. Seriously the US justice system is a joke. And the music industry is the biggest bully to ever grace our planet.

But as always the universe tend to unfold as it should.

One of these days the RIAA will get theirs.

From slashdot:

"Jammie Thomas-Rasset has made a motion for a new trial, seeking to vacate the $1.92 million judgment entered against her for infringement of 24 MP3 files, in Capitol Records v. Thomas-Rasset. Her attorneys' brief (PDF) argues, among other things, that the 'monstrous' sized verdict violates the Due Process Clause, consistent with 100 years of SCOTUS jurisprudence, since it is grossly disproportionate to any actual damages sustained. It further argues that, since the RIAA elected to offer no evidence of actual damages, either as an alternative to statutory damages, or to buttress the fairness of a statutory damages award, the verdict, if it is to be reduced, must be reduced to zero."
