RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl
tcp100 noted an article running at fox about
The RIAA suing a 12 Year Old girl: "'I got really scared. My stomach is all turning,' Brianna said last night at the city Housing Authority apartment where she lives with her mom and her 9-year-old brother."
The RIAA are NOT suing the 12-year old girl. They're suing her MOTHER.
Sheesh. Get informed. The RIAA is suing the ISP subscribers that are engaging in massive copyright violation. Unless the 12-year old has a credit card and has purchased the ISP account in her own name she is NOT the named defendent. The mother is.
However, like the cowardly thief she is, the mother is throwing her 12-year old daughter on the altar to be sacrificed in a propaganda campaign to save her own butt from the lawsuit. What a wonderful human being. But, then again, she illegally downloaded and uploaded thousands of music files, so why should we be surprised?
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
It IS the parent's responsibility to know what their kids are doing, and to guide them into doing what is moral. Stealing is not moral, just as shooting your teacher becuase he caught you jerking off in the bathroom is not moral, but it happens because parents have lost the ability to be parents. This, my friends, is what happens when hippies have sex. Society goes down the toilet, since a WHOLE generation of "parents" just let thier kids grow up without much guidance, and then those kids do the same for thier children, thinking, well I turned out fine... Anyway, being a musician, I and whole-heartedly for the RIAA going after people. I think this article was a last ditch effort to get the RIAA to drop teh case due to bad publicity. But, anyone notice the girl lives in a Housing Authority? Housing Authority = public housing or section 8 - meaning low to no income families. Ok, so they have no money - yet, they have a computer and internet... hmm....
Your sister-in-law may be bright at some things, but she is still a stupid person.
