The jury ordered Jammie Thomas, 30, to pay the six record companies that sued her $9,250 for each of 24 songs they focused on in the case. They had alleged she shared 1,702 songs in all.
The companies accused Thomas, 30, of Brainerd, of offering the songs online through a Kazaa file-sharing account. She denied wrongdoing and testified that she didn't have a Kazaa account.

-> On to better news, those of us who think that writing a bibliography is a pain in the hiney, cry no more. I discovered this site called Son of Citation Machine which pretty much makes your bibliography for you. All you have to do is type in the author's name(s), date, etc. And yes, it does have APA and Chicago styles.
Peace, Love and Basketball,
Sean
