Filesharing superstar parts ways with dumb attorney

Jammie Thomas, who has been dubbed “the world’s dumbest filesharer”, is still making headlines as we move into the New Year. Jammie Thomas was the first person to take a filesharing case to court. She got stung to the tune of $220,000 last year, largely thanks to a disastrous effort by her lawyer, Brian Toder.

Toder’s inspired idea to persuade Jammie Thomas to take her case to court resulted in near bankruptcy for the poor woman, who now woes the days she spent using filesharing service Kazaa. Toder has now decided to part ways with Jammie.

Although still a long way off reaching a worthwhile sum, Jammie Thomas is still selling thongs on her official website. Filesharing advocates have been slow off the mark to help Jammie out – in the past nine weeks, her online store has only raised $1,189.57.

Hopefully, Jammie will have a change of fortunes now that her bonehead attorney has gone his own way.
