Jammie Thomas To Appeal $1.9 Million RIAA Verdict

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday July 4, 2009 @02:44AM from the if-at-first-you-don't-succeed dept.

CNet reports that the lawyers representing Jammie Thomas-Rasset have confirmed she will be fighting the $1.9 million verdict handed down in her case against the RIAA. "The Recording Industry Association of America said on Monday that it had made a phone call to Sibley and law partner Kiwi Camara last week to ask whether Thomas-Rasset wanted to discuss a settlement. An RIAA representative said that its lawyers were told by Sibley that Thomas-Rasset wasn't interested in discussing any deal that required her to admit guilt or pay any money. ... 'She's not interested in settling,' attorney Joe Sibley said in a brief phone interview. 'She wants to take the issue up on appeal on the constitutionality of the damages. That's one of the main arguments — that the damages are disproportionate to any actual harm.'"

I love black people from Africa. They come to the USA and they say that they can't stand American blacks because they're self-destructive, racist, maladaptive pieces of shit for the most part though there are some really great exceptions. It's not race or color of skin because "black people" are NOT niggers. It's cultural because American black people ARE a bunch of niggers. Get that chip off your shoulder, quit glorifying violence and drugs and the abuse of women, get a better plan for your life other than being a thug with a shitty attitude, and quit thinking that getting an education is "too white" or anything other than "smart". That's how American blacks can stop being a bunch of niggers. While you're at it, stop listening to these clowns like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and go back to the words of good worthy men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
