How can the RIAA legally go after a 12 year kid?

i thought all civil judgements against a minor was null and void because they are not of legal age?
 
RIAA = Gestapo. They can do anything they feel like doing. 😀


Edit: Unless it involves Stanford or someone with the resources to point out their mistakes.
 
With civil suits, if someone wants to "go after" a minor they end up "going after" the parents. See, some silly law person out there had this idea that parents should be responsible for their kids.

Um... Due Process is two parts: notice and meaningful opportunity to be heard. The ppl the RIAA is going after are getting notice. The 12 year old wasn't hauled into court with no idea that she was being sued...

This is correct there is no due process with a subpoena. A subpoena is mearly a notice to appear OR a notice that you are being charged. It is actually the first step in due process.

This will be one of the 260 cases that will be dropped due to illegally gathering information, "viruses" were the cause of the p2p software, etc.

"I got calls from two Comcast subscribers who were never informed. They found their screen names listed on a Web site and wanted to know what they should do."

 
I'm tired of all this talk about this 12 year old girl. Big whoop. She did the crime, now do the time. The fact that RIAA is a bunch of asshats has nothing to do with it. I can't believe there are actually webpages collecting money for her. sheesh

Oh please. There a million reasons they "say" they were never informed. Subpoenas were sent to them if they were on the list; I may hate the RIAA but they didn't do anything wrong in sending the subpoenas, at least as far as Due Process is concerned.

When you're served with a subpoena (never had the pleasure - knock on wood) don't they have to physically serve you with it and perhaps make you sign for it to show that you recieved it. If that's so wouldn't it be fairly obvious that these people were lying about not being served if that were the case?
 
They go after the parents, who are (or should be) responsible to keep track of what the kids are doing on the internet. Ignorance is not an excuse (bad analogy, but you wouldn't drive a car without knowing how to use the brake, so why should a file transfer program be any different?).

The RIAA is doing plenty of things that are not right, and for that reason I (and others) are boycotting them. Still, that is not an excuse to infringe.
