Justice American Style

I wonder who was on the jury....

The stupid bitch should have defrauded a large financial institution and its investors of billions instead....then she could have just gone away with practically no penalty and lived in her new mansion. Yay America!

"Thomas-Rasset had been convicted previously, in October 2007, and ordered to pay $US220,000 ($A275,000) in damages but the judge who presided over that trial threw out the verdict calling it "wholly disproportionate" and "oppressive." "
So $A275,000 is over the top but $2.4 million is OK LOL

She will never pay it...
Who has this sort of money..I think this is scare tactics...surelly the judge and the companies involved know she could never pay it.
Its all a lost cause really...they fine people millions...noone will ever pay...so what is the use here?...I suppose they need to look like they are trying to stamp out piracey...little to late i think.

In America if they don't pay,"I'm afraid your going to jail".

Well it may end up being the same here, the way we follow the yanks in everything they do.
