CNet's Declan McCullagh breaks down the trial and why the verdict came back as "guilty." Yesterday was kind of a sad day for the file-sharing community after a jury of twelve returned with a guilty verdict in the first ever illegal file-sharing case to see the inside of an actual courtroom.
The Jury ordered Jammie Thomas to pay some $9,250 for each of the 24 songs she was accused of illegally sharing on the KaZaA file-sharing network. This amounts to some $222,000 in total penalties, a figure sure to cause headaches until she appeals her case.
