Yes! She’s back again. Jammie Thomas is one name that we just will never be able to forget. The world’s most famous filesharing user, who last year was ordered to pay $222,000 for sharing a handful of songs, may see her case thrown out of court. This is the kind of light at the end of the tunnel that has seemed so far off for Jammie Thomas, a single mum from Brainerd.

The case may be thrown out of court because the judge was not aware of a precedent in a prior case. The prior case stated that making a track available for filesharing is not a violation of copyright laws. In Jammie’s case, the judge told the jury that it is.

The argument from Jammie’s side is that there is nothing to prove that the songs were shared with anyone other than the record companies who were snooping on her. This would be a major blow for the music industry after using this landmark case to make an example of the filesharing community.
