This is absolutely awful! Our entire system is for sale it seems. If you have the money, the law is yours for the writing (to your own benefit of course), if you have the money Justice is yours for the buying.
To use the courts to ruin some childs life, only to set an example to others that this industry will DESTROY you if you cross it….
Well I will shed no tears when this despicable industry destroys itself.

I love seeing the RIAA try to squirm its way out of adapting to a new business model. It’s Kubler-Ross, people.

It has been a long time since I have said anything, but this non willingness to listen to Whitney’s concerns is again an example of the reach that this industry has into our government. When My Daughter was faced with a similar situation, it soon became clear that the battle was going to be a dirty uphill battle against a system that is out of touch with the now, and willing to break any law it could to impose its will upon the masses. With the blessings of Congress, it also has seeming impunity to do so. The abuse of the legal process while doing so, allows it to roll on. The legal machine that helped rewrite the copyright law and sneak in it’s secrete language, now has deemed specific areas of that law irrelevant, AND APPARENTLY, THEY HAVE CONVINCED THE COURTS OF THAT. Maybe that very inaction by the Supreme Court will render the law mute, only God knows… With the the Highest Court in the land now expressing an unwillingness to address the innocent infringement issue, it is even more troubling… Now, anything goes…

This is a very well written posting that I think brings alot of valid points to this case. I wish in the case of this young lady that the court had listened to her case and that the law would be changed. I also hope that something comes from this in the near future and while I know her case is closed it would be great to see them overturn this ruling let her start her life as an educated adult without this burden. I think that there have been so many people who have written such mean insulting things about a person that they do not know, when what they should be focusing on was the fact that the law is out dated and needs to be changed. People want to say that she should know that what she was doing was wrong but I think that they forget that this was almost ten years ago and so much within the technology and the music industry has changed since then. I think that almost every person I know had Kazaa, lime wire or something of that sort on their computer and they also thought they were doing nothing wrong. The fact is that they could be punishing a majority of the world for this crime but yet they have selected a few very unlucky people. The law needs to be rewritten to keep up with the times and leave all of these people alone. I do believe that something needed to be done to protect the musicians and this young lady is agreeing to that but in the case of the RIAA they are sueing her when they truly should have gone after the companies for false advertisment and sharing music illegally. Leave these people alone and rewirte the law to protect this industry not punish those who were actually trying to support the industry.
