I hope at least one of these kids and thier parents and lawyers puts up a good
fight next time. I still feel its an invasion of privacy for the RIAA (or any
company) to track anyone and what they do while on the internet.
Also I hope some fans on the internet get together and raise money for this
family like they did for the college students at Princeton. These kinds of
news
stories are going to make powerful enemies of the RIAA in the long run.
