The RIAA sees the face of evil, and it's a 12-year-old girl...

Read the arcticle here...

What do you think of it?

Dundee Slaytern · 09-09-2003, 11:29 PM

Is the article being cynical, or are they actually being supportive of the RIAA's new policies?

Can you say "publicity stunt"? I feel sorry for the kid. She must be scared out of her wits right now. I really hope this blows up in the RIAA's face.

Well, anyone who has dealt with 12-year-olds can well believe that Brianna thought that her mother paid $29.99 for the music service and she could down load all sje wanted. I have heard moms complain that they got a pre-paid cell phone for their kid and they used up all the minutes in a coupld of days.

I believe that it will hold up in court when I see it.

isnt it illegal to sue a minor?

Of course she thought she could download the songs at will, she's 12 yrs old for God's sake! [img]graemlins/doh.gif[/img]

Yea, I'm sure RAII is going to sue a little girl, if they do, they are the biggest group of pricks on this earth. It's a wee girl, I honestly doubt she'll bring the music industry to it's knees

Apparently this is something the RIAA don't seem to understand. Almost all the people downloading songe are minors.

They aren't dealing with a drug ring, they are dealing with a bunch of kids and teenagers sharing files with an easy to use file-sharing program.

I don't know about over there but here you can sue the parents instead.

It's going to make even more people resent RIAA now, and not want to buy as many CD's--or ANY. They really took the wrong path here.
