RIAA Sues a Child

Posted by samzenpus on from the sue-everyone dept.

dniq writes "You may remember the previously posted story about a case against a mother, which was dropped by the RIAA right after her lawyers moved to dismiss the case. Well, guess what? The RIAA has brought a lawsuit against the mother's daughter - now a 14 year old girl - and moved for appointment of a guardian at litem."

    People who are violating the GPL are taking credit for work that is not theirs and selling it. However, they are not stealing anything other than credit from the copyright holder of GPL software as it is given away anyway.

    "Music thieves" are admitting the work is not theirs. They are giving away a product that is not theirs to give away. And, in the processes, depriving the copyright holders of income.

    Right or wrong, the child is the correct target.

    Yes, thank you. People are complaining because suing a minor is wrong.

    Fair enough, but that still has zero to do with copyright infringement.

    Angry little shit arent you?

    I have a TON of music I didn't pay for. I have a lot that I have paid for multiple times (lost the CDs, damaged, etc). Fuck them, most of it is shit anyway. Lets see, the typical CD is 1-2 good tracks, 7-9 filler tracks, and im supposed to either pay way way too much for a CD for the 2 good songs, or get that DRMed trash from iTunes? No frigging way. And its not theft, by me downloading it they have lost nothing, I wasnt going to buy it anyway, sorry if you didnt want to hear it but that doesnt change the fact that its true. They. Have. Lost. Nothing. No loss, how can it be theft?
