In all fairness, anyone that downloads music illegally will have the belief "it wouldn't ever happen to me". The RIAA needs to make an example of extreme cases that puts fear into the other illegal uses of p2p. If she didn't want to get caught, she shouldn't have downloaded illegally, and that makes sense since in the end, it is the law. I feel bad for the student, and I don't support these extreme cases, but if anyone is going to download music illegally, they have to be willing to accept the penalties.
