The RIAA has gone too far with this Suing bullsh!t
Barely 24 hours after suing alleged file swappers around the United States, the recording industry has settled its first, agreeing to drop its case against a 12-year-old New York girl in exchange for $2,000

Project Against the RIAA ... if they start suing kids thats one more reason to join planet maddness at http://www.planetmaddness.com/riaa/
The RIAA have indeed gone too far, and I htink they could have fought AND won it. The circumstances alone would have convinced a jury to award the kid damages for pain and suffering. I mean, c'mon, they thought they bought a service for the "premium" thinking once they paid that it was legal. That in itself is a good defense, and the fact it's a 12 year old girl is another great defense as well.
They can all whither die and burn in hell as far as I am concerned.
If the world only knew how many copyrights I was violating back when I was 12. I made this girl look like a saint. Poor, poor girl....
ALL THAY ARE AFTER IS MONEY... HOW SAD AND PARTHETIC THRE LIVES MUST BE...

Here in Australia to prosecute any child under the age of 14 (this may vary slightly from state to state), the prosecution MUST prove that the child knew what they were doing was wrong, she said she didn't think she was doing anything wrong - case dismissed - or would never have been entertained here .....
I am sure there would be similar laws in the U.S. to protect kiddies from the bullies of the legal system - if she were my child I would be telling the RIAA to go shove it in a place that the sun does not shine and not shelled out a cent !!!
Stop buying CDs. Write them a polite letter and explain why you will
not be buying CDs. Tell them what your demands are, if they want you
to resume buying.
The recording industry could be crushed in a matter of days.
:cool:
That could work but alot of people would have to do it and not back down for any reason. The RIAA just pissed off alot more people by making that 12 year old girl pay $2000 that is just not right. They are heartless *****s.
Capitalist pigs.
Just to go with his post..Quote:

After reading that I say they really should have their heads examined that is a bunch of garbage suing a young girl that is not even old enough to drive a car. what the hell is wrong with them.
I wish this is the beginning of the end for te RIAA. I myself am gonna stop buying CDs although I havent bought one for a couple of months. But this will definitely stop me from buying anymore at all. I will even try to convince others to stop. How can u sue a little kid who most probably doesnt even know that it is illegal. I think a warning and a talk with the parents should be enough. This is disgusting, the level they will sink to for a couple of bucks.
Like the rest have been saying. Hope they rot in hell. I am glad in this case I do not live in the US.
Thay all suxors assess, all thay are after is money.
Hell thay earn enuff compared to alot of other people y cant thay just be content with that!!??

Some people are so greedy that they don't care who it is or their age all they want is money it is a sad thing to know that getting money is all they care about.

It seems everyone here has the same opinion about this.
However, nobody cares about your opinion. Least of all the lawyers who are reaping in the harvest from these type of actions.....it's all about money.
rc had the only real answer......
"Stop buying CDs. Write them a polite letter and explain why you will

If you really feel strongly about this.....take a moment and do exacty that.
In todays world, your dollar carries a lot more weight than your vote. Sad, but true.
exactly. i believe this is true. all the consumers are short is one multi-national union for music consumers. head ache is caused by trying to imagine how such a leviathan could operate, be maintained or even formed in the first place.Quote:
