No harm, no foul? P2P user says $1.5M award should be zeroed out; ArsTechnica.com, 12/8/10

Nate Anderson, ArsTechnica.com; No harm, no foul? P2P user says $1.5M award should be zeroed out:

"Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the first US citizen to take her file-sharing lawsuit all the way to a verdict, has been hit with three separate damage awards: $222,000, $1.92 million, and recently $1.5 million. The judge has made clear that these figures are absurd; after the second trial, he declared $54,000 the most that he could possibly allow.

But what does Thomas-Rasset think she owes? Nothing."
