FOXNews.com - Top Stories - 12-Year-Old Sued for Music Downloading

It looks like the RIAA has finally stooped to the level of the common school playground bully. It turns out one of the people they just sued for music swapping was a 12-year-old honors student from New York City. I'm sure she was a real threat to their business model. Here is the story from FOXNews.com
"NEW YORK %u2014 The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers %u2014 including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun. Brianna LaHara said she was frightened to learn she was among the hundreds of people sued yesterday by giant music companies in federal courts around the country. 'I got really scared. My stomach is all turning,' Brianna said last night at the city Housing Authority apartment where she lives with her mom and her 9-year-old brother."
