    people plead ignorance - but they've only got themselves to blame. it's still theft. u gotta be prepared to take the consequences if u do it.

    it's theft! there's no way around it. if a kid walked into a shop and stole a cd, you expect them to be prosecuted wouldn't you?
    just because she's twelve doesnt mean she's immune from copyright laws.

    Probably used a minor as an example as she'll not do time.

    Pretty shit though.
