I did not say that they should be denied that option. I simply believe they are on shaky legal ground. The Jammie Thomas case will most likely be appealed. The judge is already on record that the original $220,000 award was oppressive, it's doubtful he likes the $1.9 Million award any better.
From what I gather part of the accusation from Capitol was that the songs were merely made available. There was no charge as to actual distribution. Again, murky waters here. I won't be surprised to see this overturned on appeal.
