RIAA Sues 12 year old honor student This is just a crappy yahoo link so it will inevitably change in 5 minutes.... Here's the article: Girl, 12, Settles Piracy Suit for $2,000 Tue Sep 9, 7:20 PM ET Add Entertainment - AP to My Yahoo! By TED BRIDIS, AP Technology Writer WASHINGTON - A 12-year-old girl in New York who was among the first to be sued by the record industry for sharing music over the Internet is off the hook after her mother agreed Tuesday to pay $2,000 to settle the lawsuit, apologizing and admitting that her daughter's actions violated U.S. copyright laws. The hurried settlement involving Brianna LaHara, an honors student, was the first announced one day after the Recording Industry Association of America (news - web sites) filed 261 such lawsuits across the country. Lawyers for the RIAA said Brianna's mother, Sylvia Torres, contacted them early Tuesday to negotiate. "We understand now that file-sharing the music was illegal," Torres said in a statement distributed by the recording industry. "You can be sure Brianna won't be doing it anymore." Brianna added: "I am sorry for what I have done. I love music and don't want to hurt the artists I love." The case against Brianna was a potential minefield for the music industry from a public relations standpoint. The family lives in a city housing project on New York's Upper West Side, and they said they mistakenly believed they were entitled to download music over the Internet because they had paid $29.99 for software that gives them access to online file-sharing services. Even in the hours before the settlement was announced, Brianna was emerging as an example of what critics said was overzealous enforcement by the powerful music industry. The top lawyer for Verizon Communications Inc. charged earlier Tuesday during a Senate hearing that music lawyers had resorted to a "campaign against 12-year-old girls" rather than trying to help consumers turn to legal sources for songs online. Verizon's Internet subsidiary is engaged in a protracted legal fight against the RIAA over copyright subpoenas sent Verizon customers. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., also alluded to Brianna's case. "Are you headed to junior high schools to round up the usual suspects?" Durbin asked RIAA President Cary Sherman during a Senate Judiciary hearing. Durbin said he appreciated the piracy threat to the recording industry, but added, "I think you have a tough public relations campaign to go after the offenders without appearing heavy-handed in the process." Sherman responded that most people don't shoplift because they fear they'll be arrested. "We're trying to let people know they may get caught, therefore they should not engage in this behavior," Sherman said. "Yes, there are going to be some kids caught in this, but you'd be surprised at how many adults are engaged in this activity."

I'm in dead last. I ran a pool last year at my old job. I finished last the first 3 weeks, only to turn it around and win 5 straight times. After that, nobody played anymore. They all thought i was cheating. Lets hope this year is a repeat of last.

I probably should have posted this all in green. Even ESPN discounted it, saying SF would win it "until we find some statistic that says they won't"

How quicly we forget what the sox can do vs. Lefties. Look no further than the last series vs. CLE. They started 3 lefties and the Sox came away with 3 W's. I love the sox line up vs. Lefties. Something like this, the lineup last friday. T. Graffanino ss R. Alomar 2b F. Thomas dh M. Ordonez rf C. Lee lf C. Everett cf P. Konerko 1b J. Crede 3b Olivo C Here's some stat's Though I didn't know where to go to get a W-L record. vs Lefties 1307AB .280AVG 62HR 195RBI 104BB .493SLG .830OPS vs Righties 3527AB .256AVG 136HR 475RBI 375BB .431SLG .763OPS

ESPN just ran a piece on Sportscenter where they eliminated all of the contending teams using useless statics. Like no team has ever one the WS while finishing last in the league in runs scored. = bye-bye LA Dodgers. They picked a World Series of SF vs Oak with SF winning. The White Sox were eliminated because no team has won a WS without a closer having 13 saves. (since that statwas kept) I think Gordon will reach that plateau. Woo-Hoo World Series Champs

It's going to cost alot more than that. Not to mention the valuable loss of human life. That's hard to put a dollar amout on. One thing we should have learned by now: bush is not exactly good with figures. This was going to be a quick war. There are WMD's. Something about nuclear weapons from Lybia. How many of those were true? He'll say whatever he want's, manipulate facts, to get his desired outcome. I guess that's what makes him a good politician.

ROFL Sounds like something that would be written in the Trib 'bout the Sox.

I think our record against first timers is well-noted around the league. Teams look to start a new guy against "softer" competition, to build up thier confidence. While i don't consider the White Sox "soft"; I do believe our hitters are not as focused when they face these call-ups, as opposed to a clemens, Pedro type. Let's hope they're focused tonight. They know this is a big series. They should respond well. They usually do.

I was just about to wonder where the gamethread was. Heather your punctuality should be commended. Let's run that PBP record to 6-0. GO SOX

I don't know when it started. But it's been over for a long time now.

There are 16 weeks of football for Christ's sake!!! Actually there's 17 weeks... there's still 16 left though. And don't feel to bad Heather you've at least got some good company holding up the rear with you. ME

Loiza in a NO-Brainer. Especially after he Cleans up in the finale vs. the Twinkies

LET's Keep it rolling guys.... 3 more W's this series

Oh Heather, I noticed. I'm just shy and didn't know what to do about it. Maybe if you made the first move.

Here's the latest edition of Strong Bad's E-mail Some people are White Sox Fans. Some people should brush thier teeth. ytz37 should brush his teeth. goodnight
