Well, they went and did it.  The RIAA has filed a lawsuit against a 14-year-old girl for downloading music.  In an earlier post I mentioned a case where a suit brought against the mother of the child was dismissed by the courts with prejudice.  Now, the RIAA has suceeded in bringing a lawsuit against the teenager... who was the tender age of 13 when the "crime" took place.

The main thing the RIAA seems to be going after her for is that she was "sharing" the songs she downloaded to others that were on the same P2P network.  The thing that bothers me the most is the fact that the software the girl was using to download music, probably has default settings that automatically configures the P2P software to act as a share device so others can get to the files she has downloaded.  She most likely didn't even know that the songs she downloaded were being made available to others.  She also likely didn't know how to disable the share feature even if she were aware that it was engaged.

The RIAA has no shame.  Their greed is outrageous and I hope they all burn in hell.
