The overreaction on this is almost understandable. No one can sit there and tell me this poor little girl is not going to have issues with this whole situation. That being said, I blame the parents completly. I dont blame the ISP, they are a business attempting to make profit in a world that looks to screw them at every opportunity. I dont blame the police, it was a bonafide crime. Yea the 9yr old didnt murder someone, but it was a crime none the less. Im betting that the father recieved the C&D order from the ISP and tossed it in the trash instead of facing the matter. If I had done something similar, and I did as a child, I would have faced the wrath of my parents. Mom would yell and scream and Dad would get the belt. Guess what, it taught me to respect others property and to not steal. Im guessing the father just blew it off. Meh no big deal. So all of this is on his head for not being a good parent. Had he taken the time to go over internet safety with his child, she prolly wouldnt have downloaded anything. I have a 6yr old nephew that knows to ask permission to download anything, even on smartphones.

Thats a bit harsh is it not? Everyone can make mistakes, that doesn't mean they are bad parents. Thats not to mention kids have a mind of their own and often ignore what parents tell them.

It may seem harsh, but when you deal with children and the Law, it is always the parents resposibility. Im not saying the gentleman in question is bad, just not good. Perhaps it is a regional issue, perhaps it is because we live in different times. Either way, it was in the parents hands to educate their child on how to use the internet.

Judging by the fact you're responding to a thread that's almost 4 months old, I'd say it's a bit late for that...........!!! (Wait for it)......... (wait some more)......................(It's coming)...................(and finally)............What thinkest thou?

Why 600 euros? Why not 6000? Or 60,000? It would be just as baseless and arbitrary.

Well because, if they made the penalty too steep, then they'd have to put them in jail if they didn't or couldn't pay. It costs money to incarcerate people.
Personally, I'm all for jail with no fine alternative!
Then, if we could get guest posting criminalized, what a glorious web site this would be.....
Yeah, cause all 10 year old kids need to be taught that torrenting is wrong, right after you teach them how to use a dictionary to find out what torrent means. If you are going to talk s*** get off of these forums.

I'm kind of thinking the post you quoted originally was sarcasm, so there was no real need for such a vitriolic response, especially to what amounts to a dead thread.

I guess you have to start younger and younger to set them straight. Only The record label is allowed to rip the artists off and steal music. Hahaahaaha.
