‘Internet-illiterate parent’ fights downloading lawsuit

CNN.com - ‘Internet-illiterate parent’ fights downloading lawsuit - Dec 27, 2005

Santangelo said her biggest issue is with Kazaa for allowing children to download music without parental permission. “I should have gotten at least an e-mail or something notifying me,” she said. Telephone and e-mail messages seeking comment from the Australia-based owner of Kazaa, Sharman Networks Ltd., were not returned.

This is an interesting devlopment on several levels. First the concept that an internet illiterate would not be held liable and second the fact that children can access all kinds of illegal “stuff” through the P2P networks without concent. Why have we not seen this before? Sure there is the problem of piracy, but if kids can’t get the stuff from Walmart without parental concent why don’t they just go to Kazaa? Hummm….
