Re:Sorry, juries don't work like you think they do (Score 1)

"Not only was she stupid to not settle beforehand, she's stupid for appealing. What her boneheaded lawyer should now be doing is trying to find out if the record companies would settle for a smaller amount that they have reasonable amount of being able to collect. And maybe now she'll make sure she acquires her music legally, and does not make it available for mass distribution to others...but I doubt she's that smart."

Totally wrong. She is now free to actually share without limit. If I were her, I would go on the news and state that I am sharing every song I can get my hands on. Then let them sue as much as they want. As a pauper, I would not have to pay a dime to them, not even show up in court. This being a civil matter, they can only sue for money, something a bankrupt person does not have to pay.
