Jammie Thomas answers the RIAA
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- Jammie Thomas, the Minnesota mother who was the first of the RIAA’s victims to actually appear in court, has now filed her reply papers in further support of her motion to set aside the verdict, and in response to the RIAA’s opposition papers, says Recording Industry vs The People.
In her own story, “I never dreamt my case would actually make it to court,” she said.
“I figured the RIAA had run from every case that was even close to going before a jury and they would do the same thing with my case. Yeah, I was wrong. My attorney kept warning me all along I might be the first case to ever go to court, but I was naïve and didn’t want to see the bigger picture. A cold splash of reality wakes anyone up and the judgment against me was that splash I seemed to need.
“I also never dreamt how large of a story my case would become. Before I went to court, no one except those close to me knew of this situation I was dealing with. Now, I can Google my name and read articles about me. A very odd and surreal feeling for me as I never wanted this much notoriety, ever. Unfortunately, a lot of the articles I’ve read are full of half-truths, conjectures, and right out lies.
“I can understand media outlets having a deadline to meet, but I cannot understand media outlets filling the holes in their stories with incorrect information.”
Recently, Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’wents RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) answer to Thomas’ request for a new trial, Stop complaining, said the corporate music hit unit.

thats quite unreasonable that they would want hundreds of dollars for a 99 cent song, thats just insanity. their response “shut up and pay up” should be taken to them since they are whining about several cases themselves!

xforce, I am a rancher. If there were thousands of people rustling my cattle, and I could only catch a few of them at a time, and the law specifically said I could get them with between $5000 and $500000 a cow, I think I would ask for the highest dollar amount. It’s called deterrence, and stealing, cows or music, is wrong. I also don’t think the RIAA asked for the highest amount–they asked for the statutory minimum. Seems reasonable.
