Law, Cash & Rock’n'Roll
Jammie Thomas, a 30-year-old single mother of two, has been ordered to pay $222,000 to the RIAA for sharing 24 tunes on Kazaa.
It’s absolutely outrageous, and I simply don’t understand how artists can silently let the RIAA sue their freakin’ fans!
Influent music artists trully have the responsibility to end this mess. They can’t hide any more behind the fatality of copyright laws when an ordinary woman gets a $200K fine for 24 allegedly “stolen” songs!
Here is the list of the cool pop stars with attitude that didn’t even issue a communiqué saying “Not in my name”:
Guns N Roses , Vanessa Williams , Janet Jackson , Gloria Estefan , Goo Goo Dolls , Journey , Sara McLachlan , Aerosmith , Linkin Park , Def Leppard , Reba McEntire , Bryan Adams , No Doubt , Sheryl Crow , Richard Marx , Destiny’s Child , Green Day
