Online file-sharing is considered illegal and an infringement of intellectual copyrights of the content that is being shared, if it is not available publicly and for free. However, very few cases related to online file sharing have surfaced in the U.S. so far. Among them is the case of Jammie Thomas, the first case that involved unauthorized file-sharing.
The case has been around since 2007 and has since lingered on between multiple courts and hearings. Initially, Jammie Thomas was asked to pay $222,000 for sharing 54 unauthorized copies of songs on Kazaa.
