Serves her right, ignorance in this instance is no excuse what so ever, especially using Kazaa!

The thing people don’t realise or want to understand the potential amount of songs this lass has downloaded. It isn’t one or two otherwise the RIAA wouldn’t have gone after her would they :rolleyes:

She was paying a $30/month fee to Kazaa for the service.

Yeah, I have to admit those first comments sidding with the recording industry are pretty sick.  Seriouslly, this is a 12 year old.  It’s sick, and embarising.

I couldn’t belive they were actually going through with it.  I thought the RIAA was going to say it was a mistake.  It’s perveted they are going after a 12 year old, because they lost control of their industry, because they refused to evolve their primary business model, because they hurt their reputation (partly with paltry royalties to artists), and because of their conflicting business models (album sales VS broadcast licenses conflict with each other).

Even still, going after a prolific file-sharer is one thing.  A 12 year old who in all likely-hood did not fully understand the law, is a completely different thing.  If this garners enough news spots, this is a very bad PR move on the RIAA part.  Another example of their shinning example of mis-management.

Shouldn’t the girls Mother be sued? After all, she was the one who subscribed to Kazaa in the 1st place.

Hmm that’s right it is the mother’s responsibility for what the child is doing. So yea it should transfer to the mother, maybe not, but that’s what I’m thinking. I mean, come on if you’re downloading tons of music for free, and you know that you can buy it from so many stores (Walmart??) how can you not know that it’s illegal to download it online? It’s simple logic (I’m talking about the mother here).

RIAA SUCKS those artists have enough money

It’s not the artists who are getting the money.

A lot of artists make more money from concerts than their CDs, even though their CDs reach so many more people.

The girl was “sued” which means the mother pays for it..... and I believe it was $2000.....
