Support Jammie Thomas: buy her thongs
Ever resourceful and full of surprises, the world’s most famous filesharer, Jammie Thomas, is trying to drum up support for her plight by selling thongs, T-shirts and mugs with the “Free Jammie” logo.
The world was outraged when those evil RIAA folks sued Jammie Thomas to the tune of $220,000. The T-shirts are on the market for about $20 a piece, while the thongs are just $9.99, meaning that Jammie is going to have to sell, well, a lot of thongs.
Jammie Thomas’ lawyers are all set to launch an appeal against Jammie’s conviction of sharing an outrageous 24 songs on the Internet. The single mother who earns less than $40,000 a year could sure do with some luck after the RIAA made an example out of her.
While Jammie Thomas could have settled out of court for a few thousand dollars, she chose to stand up for herself and battle it out with the world’s biggest record companies. Smart move or total blunder — only time will tell.
The campaign to support Jammie Thomas has so far raised only $16,000, which is hardly surprising given that this whole scenario is based around getting stuff for free. Jammie Thomas’ appeal is likely to cost about a year’s salary for the poor woman.
