A group of record labels is suing Jammie Thomas for sharing music across the Kazaa P2P network. While most people threatened with legal action from the industry have opted to settle, Jammie Thomas decided to take it all the way.

At risk is more than $1.2 million. The recording association is seeking damages set under federal law, of $750 to $30,000 for each copyright violation, and accusing Ms. Thomas of sharing more than 1,700 songs.
