I agree, she was let off with not much of a punishment. I can't, however, let go of the fact that she and her mother were under the impression that paying Kazaa $29.99 meant they could legally download music. You and I both know this is wrong, but these people are obviously somewhat naive.
This does prove, however, that the RIAA really does need to do it's homework before launching the lawsuit. They haven't done any work to assure that the lawsuits are legit and they have the right people.
I forget which page I was reading this on, but consider this:
I have a nice fat pipe to the net. I am lso generous and have set up an open WiFi hotspot for my neighbours. One of my neighbours utilizes this to share copyrighted material, and I get busted.
Of course, I don't log who is doing what because that would be morally wrong.
Oh well, I guess I am still responsible for being a nice guy.
