In the second trial of a copyright violation case – after the first trial declared a mistrial -, a Minneapolis jury Thursday ruled that Jammie Thomas-Rasset must pay fines totaling $1.92 million to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for infringing 24 songs. 

While at the first trial, Thomas-Rasset blamed a file-sharing hack or crack having hijacked her WiFi connection - even though she did not have a WiFi router -, this time she testified that her children possibly used her computer to file share on Kazaa. 

Jammie Thomas-Rasset – earlier only Jammie Thomas –went to trial two years ago, with RIAA either suing or threatening to sue nearly 30,000 others for copyright infringement; most of whom have settled the matter.

After being earlier ordered by a different jury to pay $222,000 for the same songs, Thomas-Rasset had opted for a new trial, instead of going in for a settlement like the others, who on an average paid RIAA a fine of $3,500 each. 

Now being levied a fine of $80,000 per track, Thomas-Rasset has reportedly told Ars Technica that she would not pay. The 32-year-old Thomas-Rasset, a mother of four children, from the central Minnesota city of Brainerd, said: “There's no way they're ever going to get that. I'm a mom, limited means, so I'm not going to worry about it now.”
