The court said that the woman in question must pay damages of more than £6,000 and costs and disbursements of £10,000 (US$18.6K) to US developer and publisher Topware Interactive, the company behind Dream Pinball 3D, reports The Telegraph.
According to the site, the prosecution could lead to numerous games, music and film companies claiming millions of pounds in damages from file-sharers.
"Illegal file-sharing is a very serious issue resulting in millions of pounds of losses to copyright owners,” said David Gore, a partner at law firm Davenport Lyons, which prosecuted the Topware case.
"The damages and costs ordered by the court are significant and should act as a deterrent. This shows that taking direct steps against infringers is an important and effective weapon in the battle against online piracy."
Davenport Lyons has launched civil proceedings against 100 people believed to have illegally uploaded copyrighted works on behalf of Topware, and Internet service providers have been ordered to release several thousand names and addresses of suspected file-sharers.
