A woman is ordered to pay 222.000 dollar for illegally file- sharing of music by a court in the US. The fine could have been millions according to the record companies. She downloaded a total of 1702 songs. The first person who decided to fight the court was Ms Thomas; he was accused of illegal file-sharing. The jury ordered Thomas to pay 9250 dollar per song. Each year millions of households use or post illegal files, and the music industry take it as a serious threat to its revenue. However, Ms Thomas must pay if she loses the case.
My opinion
I think that the lady is innocent. I think she was not aware that she was doing something illegal. I think that the possibility of downloading must be declined only to the legal sites, and that only the makers must be punished. Besides, the problem of downloading illegally is a worldwide issue. This will not stop by given a few fines to a small amount of people. I also feel sorry for the music industry to see their revenue getting less. The artiest that are not famous enough to promote themselves have a little chance to survive in the music industry.

I think also, the woman is innocent because the makers of this site, he had thought a stop downloading solutions, and not show all songs on internet, who will download with money. Everybody wants free download. So I blame the maker of the website and not the woman. I think also he must put the songs legal, and the songs are not to download free.
