This morning's Telegraph (UK):

The mother of a 12 year old girl who downloaded nursery rhymes from the internet apologised yesterday and paid $2000 tyo settle a legal action brought by the American music industry. [she] was threatened with a possible fine of £95000 per song for illegally copying music from a website.
It was the first of 261 lawsuits brought by the Recording Industry of America in an attempt to clamp down on music swapping on the internet.
[thegirl's mother] said in a statement issued by the Association, "We understand now that file sharing the music is illegal. You can be sure that [she]won't be doing it any more." Her daughter added: "I'm sorry for what I've done. I don't want to hurt the artists I love."
The Association said the girl's computer offered more than 1000 copyrighted song tracks via a file sharing service. Its spokesman said: 2We're trying to send a strong message that the illegal distribution of copyrighted music has conseguences."

I have no problem with attempts to stop breaches of copyright. I have many problems with the public identification and intimidation of a 12-year-old child
