Woman to Appeal $220,000 Music Sharing Verdict

by Tim Stevens on October 9, 2007 at 11:29 AM


Jammie Thomas, the 32-year-old mother of two who was ordered to pay the RIAA $220,000 for sharing 24 songs last week plans to appeal, according to an appearance on CNN (see video above). While the paperwork hasn't been filed, the appeal will question whether offering a song is actually illegal as opposed to explicitly giving it to someone else.

Jammie is pledging that she is "not going to be bullied." She also insists that her identity was stolen and she had nothing to do with the files that were shared from her IP address under her username. This story may not be over yet.
