Jammie Thomas, the file sharer successfully pursued by the Recording Industry Association Of America through a high profile jury hearing earlier this month, has had her credibility questioned in the US media this week. As previously reported, Thomas denied sharing music via Kazaa, but the jury quickly ruled in the RIAA's favour last week.
Despite their court success and Thomas' seeming guilt of copyright infringement, the RIAA still got some bad press after the litigation last week, though interviews with the some of the jurors this week might help them regain some of the moral ground. One juror said that Thomas was clearly a "liar", that the jury took just five minutes to reach that conclusion, and that some of the jurors were pushing for a higher fine than the unprecedented $222,000 she was ordered to pay the labels.
Thomas has vowed to appeal the ruling, though whether she'll be able to afford to remains to be seen. Though she's reportedly threatening to just bankrupt herself if the labels come after their money.
