Ok, The RIAA openenly admits not having any other information on the users but name or what they get from the isp, they said they have no personal info on who is the downloader. I can see that, I dont agree with the suing in the frist place, not this way. However I can see them sending her the lawsuit not knowing she was 12, however upon finding this out..they should leave her alone. I feel if they wish to be taken serious in thier lawsuits, then they should define the image of thier PIRATE better. Such as, can this little girl define P2P ? Can she tell you what a supernode is ? Does she even know what a dat file is ???? or what mp3 stands for ?
I doubt it. Lets use some sense here people. I think that we as a group of cyber citizens and Media Munchers, need to atleast step up and agree that this is wrong. It is ILLEGAL TO COPY COPYRIGHTED MEDIA WITH NO OWNERSHIP. however...does a 12 yr old understand these laws ? laws bend for minors...shouldnt they here too ??
the RIAA needs to better define thier target before just shooting thier gun. someones liable to get hurt.

While you where away, p2p networks have become a very popular form of file sharing on the internet. Unfortunatley many people wish to put this to an end. What is your opinion of p2p networks and rights that should be associated with using them. Also what is your opinion of DRM (digital Rights Management) and the RIAA ?
