I laughed out loud and clapped in front of my computer. That's a revelation of her character consistent with her illegal behavior, evidence tampering and her perjury if there ever was one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-46337177660029375572009-06-23T12:33:11.291-07:002009-06-23T12:33:11.291-07:00@mhare:

She stated repeatedly under oath that she did not download or "share" the songs, and that she had never even heard of Kazaa until this lawsuit. And she pointed the finger at her kids and ex-boyfriend as the possible culprits. Her problem was that there was tons of evidence to the contrary.Ben Sheffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477793715765992689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-20674073130170985072009-06-23T12:26:44.926-07:002009-06-23T12:26:44.926-07:00I'm not sure they had much choice. They were ...I'm not sure they had much choice. They were asked if Ms Thomas had downloaded the songs. She didn't do much to dispute that. This trial represents a fascinating time in the response to IP in a digital world. We're just starting to catch up. I think it's great that 24 people think music is worth something. Perhaps that is what we need to take away from this curious episode.<br /><br />I attended the trial and it seemed like no one really wanted to be there. The labels don't need this kind of PR, the defendant represents a large percentage of our population and everyone in the courtroom has or knows someone who has participated in illegal downloading. A society of criminals indeed.Capn Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757048171849898205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-46855369510419844152009-06-23T12:25:41.013-07:002009-06-23T12:25:41.013-07:00I'm not sure they had much choice.

The jury selection system might result in what could be described as fair, but it's certainly not designed to produce a representative sample.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347088817900263283noreply@blogger.com
