Jammie Thomas makes $36,000 a year but says she's not looking for a handout to pay a $222,000 judgment after a jury decided she illegally shared music online. Six major record companies accused Thomas of offering 1,702 songs on the Kazaa file-sharing network. At trial, they focused on 24 songs and jurors decided Oct. 4 that Thomas willfully violated the copyright on all 24. Their verdict was for damages of $9,250 per song, or $222,000.
