Old enough to bleed, old enough to butcher.
Fuck her, 12 years old or 75 years old, theft is wrong. They can get a judgement against her parents who will make damn sure she doesnt get free reign on the 'net anymore.
Anyhow, this was bound to happen. They'll drop the suit, so you hippie jackasses make sure to milk it for all the barbs you can while it lasts.

There's no "age" in KaZaa, so this was bound to happen. They'll drop the suit, but you jackasses make sure that you milk it for all the lame barbs you can while it lasts, mmmkay?
Her parents should have known better than to let her collect thousands of mp3s she doesnt have rights too. They're probably smell VW bus driving hippies, drug addicts, or some other flavor of douchebag that cant be bothered to teach their children right and wrong.
"i know she's only 12...
i can't get anyone else...
i know she's only 12...
but she looks 13"
~Jeffries Fan Club - "12"
i suggest you all download this humorous song off of kazaa...
anyway...
they paid for kazaa...
so they thought they were leagally in the right...
no jury would convict her

"cite" not "site", retard. Honestly - you people are so fucking stupid. Stupid faggot nigger.
And don't forget: we're not talking about sharing a few songs here. If you take RIAA at their word, these doofuses were sharing hundreds if not thousands of songs. Their "we just listen to it once and 'let it go'" shtick is a lie.
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....
MAYBE THE RIAA SHOULD TAKE THEIR NINE FOOT DICK AND SHOVE IT DOWN THIS LITTLE BITCHES ASSHOLE TO TEACH HER A LESSON FOR STEALING
SINCERELY,
HILARY ROSEN

Your sister-in-law may be bright at some things, but she is still a stupid person.
Typical Republican. Didn't even read the article. Just like he hasn't read the constitution before he starts waving his silly little flag.
Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam rexque futurus.
If a 12 year old takes a baseball bat and starts smashing car windows, the parents will get stuck with the bill, and nobody feels sorry for the kid. The fact that people feel sympathy for the girl shows that they really don't believe that copyright violations are criminal and should be prosecuted.
