The sentence known this week is the result of a jury vote and sets the amount to be paid by Jammie Thomas-Rasset at $ 1.5 million, $ 62,500 for each song, for a total of 24 topics for which she is being judged. .
The origin of the lawsuit dates back to 2007 and the acts performed in 2006, with the first sentence, also by a jury to be handed down in January 2009, convicting Jammie to pay US $ 1.9 million. The judge reduced the amount to $ 80,000 earlier this year.
