Haha...I thought I was the only one here that ancient. Didn't get my first push button phone until about 1991.
Hell, I remember paying almost $800 for my Commodore Vic 20, and about $500 for Pong the week it came out.
Which is worse: the RIAA suing a 12 year-old for downloading music, or the media using her as a martyr to undermine the RIAA?
The parents are obviously the responsible party here and are offering up their duaghter as a sacraficial lamb in hopes of garnering public sympathy.
While it may not be a popular law, the fact is that the law is in place, and until it changes, you are responsible for what happens with your internet connection. Suck it up and pay attention to what your kids are doing, or be prepared to deal with the consequences.
