A Minnesota jury has found Jammie Thomas guilty of copyright infringement for sharing music online. The guilty verdict came along with a price tag of $222,000 for damages. This verdict that was handed down by jury in this case is being viewed as a symbolic victory for the RIAA.

It has been reported that since 2003, legal action has been brought against 30,000 people. Most of those individuals that have been sued, have settled out of court for several thousand dollars.
