I think it's odd that people automatically react when the concept of "prosecuting Grandma's and children" is raised. Huh? Everyone was a child at one time, many people are grandparents. Some turn out to be rapists and murderes. Why do we feel the age or offspring status acts like a prosecution shield? Saddam was a Grandpa.. guess we should have left him alone to rape and murder. The Menendez brothers were children.. we should let them free.

The acts are either legal or illegal. I agree that the RIAA and Microsoft and others should NOT, even if illegal activity could be prevented, be allowed to randomly search peoples computers. In addition, if they ever DO that and find nothing, they should, by law in my opinion, risk being sued for invasion of privacy and open to civil lawsuits and judgement by a jury of their peers. I think one or two of those would empty their bank accounts.

The bottom line for me is that I don't care if someone is a nun or an ex con. If they break the same law, they should face the same liability. If a kid is under age, then the parents, who control their access to computers etc. need to be responsible, the same as if they committed any other crime. If Granny is doing something illegal, she should get exactly the same punishment as a single 35 year old. Why would it be different because she was older? That's stupid and I am tired of the argument which is hollow.
