US Appellate Court Upholds $220K Damage Award In File-Sharing Case

“The top four record labels have won a significant decision in their long-running suit against Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the Minnesota woman found by a court to have ‘lied’ about illegally uploading music to the Web.” The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the trial’s award of $220,000 in damages, which a previous appeal had reduced to $54,000.
