she used kazza to get an mp3 version that was ripped by someone else

kazza was just a format shifting tool.

this case is about needling download rights in favor or people plain and simple

if it was truely about defending herself she would have made the fair use claim

pointed to the RPVR cases ruling that fair use must be determined based on the POV of the user not the network, and be done with completely.
Odd.... The article says, "Thomas-Rasset maintained she wasn't the computer user who did the file sharing."

That's a hell of a difference from, I purchased these and couldn't find the cd.
