how much longer are these people going to be in charge???

today, the ap reports that some 67 year old grandfather has been sued for $600,000 by the recording/film industry because his 12 year old grandson downloaded 4 movies (3 of which he already owned!!!) onto the man's computer for a few minutes before deleting them. this lawsuit comes after the grandpa, who is not a rich man, had refused to settle with the company by giving them $4000.
