someone steals, gets caught is offed a way out and I am supposed to feel
thier pain?
served them right
pay the fine and stop stealing

If they're to be believed, they weren't stealing. Their kid was downloading
in ignorance. The mother's probably some ignorant hick who doesn't know what
Kazaa or an mp3 is. Not everybody is wrapped up in the tech world. To a lot
of people, 4 grand isn't a "way out", it's a way to foreclosure.

This is complete bull****. I keep hoping the RIAA ****es off some
billionaire or some lawyer who doesn't need to spend a boatload on lawyer
fees and can afford to actually test these lawsuits in court and see if it
stands up. 150K for a single download? Even 4k is absurd. They can't
possibly prove damages of that magnitude from one person.

I've said all along the "industry losses" from file sharing are a complete
myth, especially compared to whatever they've surely spent on legal fees
alone.
