a couple of important points 1: you can't sue a 12 year old girl, she is not respondable for her actions. they will sue her mother. 2: i heard somewhere (maybe it was this story or a similar one)that the mother didn't know it was illegal. well as any one who has ever tried to get out of a speeding ticket by claiming you was unaware of the speed limit will know, NOT KNOWING THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE FOR BREAKING IT. 3: its not just the artist that are hurt by you stealing(YES STEALING) music its also the people that surport the artist, everyone from roadies to instrument markers depend on the income made by records sales to make a living.
oh one more thing, someone said that most artist are in it for the love of the music. thats true. my father was one of those people he started touring when he was 14 and continued into his death when he was 50. he made most of his money doing studio work for motown. he didn't get paid alot of money to tour. if he didn't get those royalitees from records he played on, he wouldn't be able to afford to feed me and my mother.
