Dunno what's sadder - a 12 year old getting sued (great for the RIAA image), or paying for Kazaa.
The mother said she signed up for KaZaA, paying a $29.95 fee. "If you're paying for it, you're not stealing it, so what is this all about?" she asked.
She said Brianna downloaded music by Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey, along with the themes to television shows like "Family Matters" and "Full House" - and even the nursery song, "If You're Happy and You Know It."

Maybe it's because you sued 30% of your customers.

It wasn't just themes. They downloaded listened, danced to it and enjoyed the music. If they were so much in to it then why not pay for it and buy the darn CD. It would have been far cheaper than paying 30 bucks a month. I don't agree with RIAA heavy handed tactics but I don't condone what this people do either.
