Back in June, we reported that a Minnesota jury had awarded the jaw-dropping sum of $1.92 million to the trade organization following their lawsuit against a woman named Jammie Thomas-Rasset. Thomas-Rasset had committed the unforgivable crime of sharing 24 songs on Kazaa. She testified that either her two young sons or her boyfriend had probably done most of the downloading, but that didn't stop the RIAA from hitting her up for $80,000 per song.
