Grandpa gets Sued for Grandson's Downloads....

67 yr. old man

The Motion Picture Association of America filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against Fred Lawrence of Racine. They are looking for $600,000 for downloading 4 Movies.

The suit in March had settle that he should be paying $4,000.
His grandson, 12, didn't realize it was illegal to download those movies via iMESH.

The movies that were downloaded were "The Incredibles," "I, Robot," "The Grudge," and "The Forgotten" in December. In his house, he owned 3 movies on DVD.
But the argument was that while doing P2P a.k.a. Peer-to-Peer.
He was also uploading to thousands of other users.

I suggest you guys stop using imesh, limewire, and kazaa or any p2p.
Downloading isn't the part you get caught, its when you uploading while downloading that gets you caught.
