Thomas was offered an out-of-court settlement; it was entirely her choice to go to trial, don't forget.
She was not "sharing" two dozen songs but 1,702. The 24 used in the court case were merely a representative sample.
She really was amazingly stupid - eg, claiming that someone might have hijacked her WiFi network when, in fact, she didn't actually
have WiFi, and making a clumsy attempt to hide the evidence by changing the hard disk in her PC before submitting it for examination.
