A woman facing a $222,000 music-sharing verdict asked a judge on Oct. 15 to overturn it. Jurors in a case that six record companies brought against Jammie Thomas found she violated the companies' copyrights by offering 24 songs over the Kazaa file-sharing network. Thomas' attorney said that, because the songs could have been purchased online for about $24, the $222,000 verdict is disproportionate and amounts to punitive damages.
