the fine should be proportional to the actions made. How much is a song of those on the various sites selling music on the net, 2$
well the fine probably includes the $2 per song (It doesnt say how many songs she downloaded, only the total songs from that building) plus the legal costs, I doubt the RIAA use a cheap legal team you know. ;-)
Plus all the research, writing letters to the ISP's etc.
It all adds up very fast.
The only thing I would say is there is an easy getout, if she did download spice girl songs (Wtf? ;-) ) then go and buy some second hand cd's from a car boot sale at 1$ a piece and say you had them all the time. it fixes everything.
Even people who hated the music business could do that as second hand goods dont get the music business any income :-)
As for going after school kids, I think if someone breaks the law, regardless of age, they should pay the price.
Kids of 5 and 6 know not to steal else they will get in to trouble, you cant say they dont know right from wrong.
