Record Industry Would Like To Ban Jammie Thomas From Listening To Any Music, Ever

kazaa_logo2704031From the Spectacles That Are Just Making Everyone Look Silly Dept.: As if being put on the hook for $1.92 million wasn’t enough, the music industry wants to take away Jammie Thomas’ access to file-sharing services like KaZaA, too:


“Attorneys for the recording industry want a federal judge to bar Jammie Thomas-Rasset, 32, from downloading music, sharing music files and distributing songs to the public. The attorneys also want U.S. District Judge Michael Davis to order that Thomas-Rasset destroy all copies of recordings she has downloaded without authorization.”


The idea is that every song Thomas’ computer uploaded to KaZaA was distributed far and wide, and since she was the one person who got caught, she’ll have to pay for the sins of her leechers. Of course, the record industry being the record industry, the term “downloading music” provides some frustrating semantic issues. Like, does that mean that there’ll be an MP3-store hold on her Amazon account, too?
