from my perspective, all I can advise is try your best to make yourself a man of straw. Ie - dont own anything. Then they can win their judgement and you just say "ok, fine... but I dont have any money" if it works anything like the UK the suing company just gets a derisory amount. Remember, you are a little guy against a big corporation, and this works very much in your favour.
Th company in question almost certainly would accept a settlement as well, but it may be more than you can pay. As for legal advise, if youre a college student, couldnt you try your own law department?
As for these badnits and desperado's blackmailing an 12 year old child into making statements like:
""I am sorry for what I have done," Brianna said in a statement released by the Recording Industry Association of America on Tuesday. "I love music and I don't want to hurt the artists I love."
I can say only that they (the RIAA) are scum. Dispicable capitalist attack dogs like this are the reason I dont buy music anymore. There will come a time of reckoning to be sure, and I hope and expect that these people will be dealt with in the appropriate way and learn the true consequences of actions like these.
