RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.

[Ace195]

Well some 12 year olds have quite a grasp on the law and legal system. My little brother knows better than to download music. But still they shouldn't be able to sue for $2 a song. Thats outrageous. I mean if the cd only contained 10 songs it would still be like $14 - $18 dollars. I mean they should break it down to like every ten songs and rate it like that.

im not saying she did or didnt. but most, kids around that age dont fully grasp the legal concept in its intirety.

And they didnt sue for $2 a song. That was a settlement. From what i read they're sueing for a LOT more then that per song. i read in the thousands dollar range.

I guess the RIAA wanted to try to keep them from looking to harsh on the wee ones. But what respect they have isn't there

Hmm... That be a hella lot of money for just downloading music. When will they ever give up ?

the settlement was $2,000, i doubt the girl had 1000 songs so it's more then $2 per song.

yes, she (or actuall more like the whole family) had 1000 songs.

All 261 people the RIAA sued had over 1000 songs for others to download from them.
