RE: Rights and wrongs in the antipiracy struggle
"A jury of Ms. Thomas' peers--12 ordinary Americans from the defendant's home state--found her liable for copyright theft."


The issue here is the definition of "music stealing" used in this case. Reports have said that the judge ruled the RIAA only needed to prove that she made songs available on a P2P site, not that the songs had actually been "stolen".
