I really feel sorry for the family.  Damn RIAA :-/.

Seph|roth:
"Damn RIAA" ... how would you feel if you were an artist and your songs were ripped from the net instead of being paid for?

I totally understand what the RIAA is doing... look at it from their side...

I'm not saying i don't download illegal stuff... more than most people i know anyway.. but i'm not mad at the RIAA for doing what they should do!
Besides, i'm safe here in holland, downloading is not illegal here ;)

EDIT: Oh, and that girl's case was settled for a total of $2,000, instead of $150,000 per song :P

Acf:
That's still a lot of money  :-\ for a litle girl :S

Seph|roth:
... but i assume that little girl has parents, right? ;)

Christ man.  Sure they should go after people, but how about going for osme of the bigger targests like those sharing 4 million mp3s or osmething.  Wouldn't that shut off more file sharing rather than going for easy victims?
