It seems to me going after a 12 year old in this matter is a little tough and wrong, but that's the RIAA for you. It's my opinion that the RIAA is going about this in the wrong way, for they should be embracing technology not trying to fight it. Let's face it, the CD is going to become obsolete just like the LP did, so why doesn't the RIAA think of something clever? They could change formats, by this I meaning changing formats from mp3 to something that is a little harder to copy. They (RIAA) are also going to have to realize that there are going to be people who will be able to copy this new format. They should become passive and not make to much of a stink about it, unless it's a flagrant violation of copyright infringement. This is where they got themselves in trouble in the first place, for they should have just kept their big mouths shut and lower the cost of music would be a good start - but that is a different subject. Just my .02 cents.
