I just saw that and was about to make a post about it. If I read the story correctly she had a trial in 2007 and was hit with 220K fine then the judge decided to order a new trial because he felt the jury was given incorrect instructions so this time they come back with a 1.9 million hit.
Pretty wild. The RIAA has won over 30,000 lawsuits but most of them are settled fast and don't make the news. A few like this and word will get around pretty quickly that they aren't messing around. Of course she will appeal and probably either have the verdict and amount tossed or greatly reduced, but it is still a pretty big deal.
