Guns ‘N Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle and November Rain, Destinys Child\'s Bills, Bills, Bills and Green Day’s Basket Case are just a few of the 24 tracks that cost Jammie Thomas-Rasset $1.92 million.

The Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) file-sharing case against Thomas-Rasset is the first suit, of more than 30 000 the association has laid in the US, to go to trial. Thomas-Rasset first went to trial more than two years ago and was found liable for over $200 000, but the presiding judge declared a mistrial.

Rather than settling with the RIAA, Thomas-Rasset decided to go to trial again. This time round she reportedly changed here defence from having her Wi-Fi connection hacked to blaming her kids.

The jury returned a verdict against Thomas-Rasset yesterday ordering her to pay some $80 000 in damages per track for downloading 24 tracks illegally. Joel Tenenbaum, are you paying attention?

Cara Duckworth, an RIAA spokeswoman, reacted to the verdict by announcing: “We appreciate the jury\'s service and that they take this as seriously as we do. We are pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence and found the defendant liable. Since day one, we have been willing to settle this case and we remain willing to do so.”
