World’s dumbest file-sharer guilty for third time<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyone loses<\/h3>\n

Orlowski observes:<\/p>\n

Copyright and the statutory damages framework are unchanged – as they were after the Tenenbaum verdict, in which Nesson had vowed to “put the record industry on trial.” Thomas-Rasset maintains her innocence in defiance of all reason – part of the reason for the original guilty verdict three years ago was that her peers felt she was insulting their intelligence, and wasting public money by bringing such a weak case to court. The plaintiffs will never see the damages, and don’t want it anyway. The defendant’s lawyers have been working pro bono<\/em>, so there’s an opportunity cost for them, too.<\/strong><\/big><\/em>
