when I went to that link it said something about a baby OD-ing on breastmilk?!!
If you're talking about the 12year old thats getting sued by record companies - believe it or not I think its a great thing (bare with me a sec before flaming)!
Think about it this way...you, me (*cough* thats not legally binding, I deny it *cough*), everybody, downloads stuff from kazaa...they want to clamp down, so what to do they do? they sue random people! sooner or later (luckily sooner) they will hit some poor defenseless kid...which they did....now follows media outrage..."12 year old to be sued"...."12 year old faces £100K fine" etc etc...so what will they do? they will back down...trust me they will have to at some point...which in theory will stop them sueing random people.
Now lets look to the future, they will decide "ok we can't sue random people, lets choose who we want to sue"....and then follows...."why are you sueing me and not him? I'm gonna sue you for defecation of character!"....record companies back down again.
Its like a never-ending circle. Its all pants
(all sympathy for the family of the 12 year old though, that must be a killer, but at least they've got the public sympathy I suppose)
