yup. this makes the RIAA look much better.

altho i dont think anything will come of it, because she's underage and all. Possibly might sue the parrents instead.

which makes me wonder now. how the hell did they get her name? the ISP would be under her parents name anyway. :hmm:

ah well.

Re: RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.
 

maybe she registered as a user under her name on kazaa or something.

anyway, the RIAA are stupid, instead of closing off kazaa and other file sharing programs and FTPs and a sh*t load more stuff...they aim for the individuals who are just using the programs and have no idea that it's even ilegal.

the RIAA will never win because one way or another music will always be stolen no matter what, it could even be someone buying a CD and burning it for 10 of his friends which burn it for 10 of their friends and so on. same with games, but most modern games have copy protection no the CD so it can't be burnt, although programs exist to crack the CDs. all i'm saying is that the RIAA doesn't see the big picture: it can not stop music from being copied/downloaded or anything else. you can even get music from your TV...just record a clip on DVD and your done...more ilegal music.

ohh well...i hardly download any music anymore anyways, i got all i need and dont have time to listen to even that. so i could care less.

actually they cant shut down a lot of thoes programs. that is the reason why they are now going after individuals.

They already lost the battle over thoes programs. this is thier plan B

Did anybody read this?
To me that doesn't sound like a 12 year old girl. It sounds like a grown man pretending to make the public believe it's a 12 year old girl.

:unsure:

Re: RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.
 

well it says the media showed up at thier house. so i would assume there is a little girl.

but it says they paid like $30 for thier kazaa. never seen that scam before. if its true they paid that. kinda sucks for them cuz they were tricked.

Yeah, this is really stupid.

And I think a 12 year old girl would say something like that. My brother is 12, and he would say something like that, and hes not even smart.

I really dont think the RIAA should even be able to get peoples names from their ISP. Thats a little invading.

Re: RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.
 

Screw the RIAA. I am boycotting purchasing CD's and other mediums supported by the company.

Ha..if the majority of P2P users boycott RIAA goods,,,then they will have a real reason to cry about there sales!

So boycott the RIAA

Re: Re: RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.
 

Yeah, I can't understand either how or why they paid $30 for it. Either they are trying to horribly lie their way out of the lawsuit or they got scammed.

But oh well, people need to figure out that KaZaa Lite is the one to use. At least it can block ip ranges of companies who search for share'rs and can keep your ip address from being shown.

Re: Re: RIAA sueing 12 year old girl.
 

Yeah you can buy some kaaza program for 30. It's supposed to be really cool. I'm not really sure.

The RIAA needs to shove a stick up thier ass and go jump off a cliff.
