I'll admit to using Kazaa, but I quit using it after 2002. Too much risk, RIAA's "secret music police" and this thing called Torrents were starting to catch on.

Hopefully this girl will make it out of the trial as a minmium $750 per item fine is down right crazy! If a person downloads 12 songs, that is well over $9000.

It's time for RIAA to grow up and hit the road.

Lori Drew is GUILTY. Reguardless if she had some kid help her create the MySpace page (since Most Parents don't know jack about Social Networking she had to get help from someone else), Lori Drew had signed up for MySpace for the purpose of extracting information from an emotionally unstable teenage girl. Lori Drew would probably let Megan Meier play with a lit M80 if she knew the girl was a pyro or let her clean out her medicine cabnet if she knew Meier was a drug addict, just so as long as she could extract information from Meier. Instead she chose the Internet.

Drew may not have a degree in Computer Science or Information Technology. She may not know how to pick a lock or phreak a telephone. But what she did was break into this girls head, manipulated her emotions, sought to make sure that her daughter would be seen as more popular and socially attractive than Meier, then break her heart right at the time when she was the most unstable and that her parents were too occupied with their own personal lives to care that some helicopter mom who was manipulating her own daughter's life was manipulating the life of some other girl.

But this case CANNOT and WILLNOT be tossed. As Lori Drew had the option to abide to the terms of service (TOS) and Privacy Policy used by MySpace even if she did not read them, she was still bound by them. She could not have filled out that form, and could not have clicked the box that stated that she would abide to the TOS and Privacy Policy, and she could not have clicked the Submit button. But she did AND she disavowed the TOS and Privacy Policy.

If the judge tosses this case out and if she returns to Dardenne Prairie, there probably will be an angry mob waiting to greet her, there probably will be vandals waiting to destroy the neighborhood, and there probably will be atleast some ignorant nut who will probably try to put a hit on her. As a resident of Eastern Missouri, I should hope that there won't be any violence, even if if the judge is careless or technologically illiterate enough to toss this case out. We can only hope that the judge won't and that Mrs. Drew is sent back to St. Louis in a pair of orange pajamas to be sent to a state prison.
