As the Recording Industry Association Of America's idiotic campaign of suing individuals for file-sharing comes to an end, with Joel Tenenbaum's court case last week putting the high profile cases to bed, two more of the outstanding lawsuits have been settled out of court.
Jenna Rayleigh and Lindsey Simms both separately agreed to pay undisclosed amounts out of court last month. Although both decided to pay up rather than go to court ahead of the ruling that Joel Tenenbaum should pay a fine of $675,000 for sharing 30 files, they nonetheless came after the massive $1.6 million Jammie Thomas-Rasset was ordered to pay in June. Presuming Rayleigh and Simms had been fighting their corners up until that point (the former's case began in 2006, while the latter's was launched last year), it seems probably that it was this ruling which triggered their decisions to settle.
