WASHINGTON - A 12-year-old girl in New York who was among the first to be sued by the record industry for sharing music over the Internet is off the hook after her mother agreed Tuesday to pay $2,000 to settle the lawsuit, apologizing and admitting that her daughter's actions violated U.S. copyright laws.

This is going to be an absolute disaster in public relations for the RIAA. There is no way in hell they're going to live this down. If they think this will be the way to increase music sales and keep the fat wallets of record execs from thinning, they're sadly fucking mistaken.

like i said dont sweat, it they got like 2 grand form her right? well it probably cost them 10 grand just to take thie rissue to court, and more to hire lawyers etc etc etc, this is thier final push, this wont stop people from using MP3s or FTF programs, and they will soon enough realize that and have to make thier money through advertsiing, and merchandising like everyone else.
The Recording Industry can't accept that it's going obsolete.
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
I am more concerned about the legal precedent of suing a child.
I mean really!
That <i>is</i> bull. I mean, what the hell? She probably didn't even know what she was doing was wrong! My little brother is 12 and he doesn't even remember to flush!
My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We're simply meant to be

Addition: If it is even wrong. That's separate issue.
