Thomas-Rasset’s lawyers responded that she wasn’t interested in any deal that required her to pay any money or admit any guilt, according to the RIAA’s spokesman. That was the same response the 32-year-old Minnesota woman gave after a jury decided against her in October 2007.

Throughout, the RIAA has said it is willing to settle and at one point was asking for just $5,000 from Thomas-Rasset. There is a chance that she could walk away from the nearly $2 million damage award by declaring bankruptcy, legal experts have said.
