The first person to challenge a file-sharing lawsuit brought by the Recording Industry Association of America has reached the end of the line.

Without comment, the Supreme Court refused to hear Jammie Thomas-Rasset's appeal, which means the $222,000 verdict against her stands.

Thomas-Rasset was convicted of sharing 24 songs on the peer-to-peer service Kazaa. She was arguing that the amount in question was excessive.

I can't believe they can get that kind of monetary award. The fucking artists don't make that much off that many songs.

I think the answer is obvious here: (1) never listen to bands signed to major labels, and (2) a jury of your peers is never a good idea.

Did a clerk actual brief any of the justices how file sharing works?

Should that even be required?
