I'm unsure of whether or not this defense would work in a civil trial, but in a criminal trial you can use the defense of infancy while under the age of 12 or so (depending on the state). Wikipedia has a great article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_infancy
But overall, I personally think this is a new all time low for the RIAA and it is time we actually fight this garbage they are proposing or else what is next?
