snipermav Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Well, if they find him and convict him, you're saying that we probably won't get our money back? So where will it go then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 I see how minors don't get punished that much for things like this, they basically get a slap on the wrist for it. Why is it that the RIAA can sue 14 year olds for thousands of dollars for downloading music? I would think the law would punish you more harshely for scamming etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsx69 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Well the law punishes you harshly if your over 18 and have little to no money. If you have money doesn't matter you can get away with little tap on the wrist, same as if your under 18. Course since this was done over the internet and across state lines the feds might ban him from accessing the internet or owning a computer for a while. We can only hope.

dean25 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 here's the part you guys might be missing out on. IF he's 15 he won't be going to jail. He'll get yelled at, he might get some community service, he might get probation, but that will most likely be ALL. his parents might end up having to pay the $$$ back to OCC members, but that is not very likely. his age will protect him from the full extent of the law. if this was one of us that was over 18 we'd be doing some hard time as a guest at a federal "hotel". if he used mummy and daddy's account they will be liable for all action taken though there paypal account by members of there household hopfully they are decent people and will sort this out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
