From Ted "It's a series of tubes" Stevens, to Jack Thompson, to the jurors in Jamie Thomas' (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9795095-7.html?tag=nefd.pulse) trial with the RIAA, it seems there's no end to internetarded WASPs who are in positions of consequence. Shouldn't a jury of peers at least have the basic capacity to understand the events actually transpiring?

The individual in question, identified by Michael Hegg, said he "Wanted to send a message" about the consequences of file sharing. Unfortunately, he's never been on the internet in his life.

Go figure.

I'm sure they avoided the issue and treated it as a property rights case. Sort of like what happened to Rowlings. However, I'm also sure that there was some premeditation involved in the jury selection.
