So the jury is made up of lawyers?

So the RIAA is crooked and the other side is innocent?
Ya okay.

Still, I think an appropriate fine level would be 10 times the market value of the song. Digital downloads cost, on average, 99 cents each. So Thomas' 24 songs would cost her $9.90 each, or $237.60. I'm not going to hold my breath that copyright law will see more rational fines, though.

Maybe they weren't so stupid. Make the judgment so high that it is ridiculous then you know it will be shot down.

Some times things aren't what they seem. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22648226 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:10:01 EDT Re: Dumb Jury http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646282 said by Goober:

Unfortunately, the same desciption seems to apply to you as well. Read the judge's instructions and read the statute. The jury were within their rights to award what they did. If the judgement is eventually deemed unconstitutional, then there will have to be a change to the copyright statute. The court nor the jury overstepped any boundaries.
Is this the same judge who sued a dry cleaner for $65 millions for losing his pant? This is within his rights to sue as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646282 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:45:24 EDT Re: Dumb Jury http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646341
For now, though, the law is the law.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646341 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:22:47 EDT Re: Dumb Jury http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646315 said by Goober:

Indeed. If her appeal is accepted, expect all eyes to be on this case because it would have extreme ramifications for all civil court cases and judgments made within them, both past, present, and future - that is, if retroactivity comes into play. If she wins, it could open the flood gates for a whole new set of appeals to occur, not that that is a bad thing. Reform of the judicial system is definitely needed. Of course, if she wins, expect an immediate appeal to a higher court.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22646315 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:18:05 EDT Re: Dumb Jury http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dumb-Jury-22645921 said by BigMac777:
