Even if you dont own a computer...
The RIAA just might sue you anyways.
Article highlights include:
A family in Rome, GA, (one of the 235 defendants) was very surprised when the local newspaper contacted them to ask about the file sharing lawsuit in which they were implicated: "I don't understand this," said James Walls. "How can they sue us when we don't even have a computer?"
Meet Brittany Chan, 15 now, but 13 when her mother was sued by the RIAA. The case against Brittany's mom was dropped after the RIAA was unable to produce any evidence, while the Chans refused to roll over and pay up. So a new suit was filed, this time against Brittany. While that may or may not be an appropriate thing to do, the RIAA then demanded that a Guardian Ad Litem be appointed and paid for by Brittany and her family. That's a lawyer assigned to represent children (and other persons unable to represent themselves in court) in legal proceedings, most often seen in divorce proceedings, child abuse cases, and other cases involving the child's welfare.
