Sony-BMG Wins: Defendant must pay $9,250 per song

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) won the first of many digital music file sharing cases Thursday against a single mother, with a U.S. jury finding her guilty of copyright infringement and fining her a total of 036;222,000. The U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota could have fined Jammie Thomas as much as 036;3.6 million, but opted not to.

She was found guilty of stealing and giving away via Internet peer-to-peer Internet file-sharing service Kazaa a total of 24 songs from companies including Capitol Records Inc., Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Bros. Records Inc.
