Of course I'm innocent, but the thing is--I have young teen children.... I make sure they eat properly, wear clean clothes, stay healthy, and of course, have computers so they can do their homework. Suddenly I've introduced Limewire and KazaA into their bedrooms without knowing it, and of course, being kids, they don't know they just infringed copyright. Do I pay up or let my kids be sued--in which case, I'm paying anyway, right? And if I have more than one child, there could be more than one lawsuit of course. So I do the math, and I pay up. Move on. Next family. I don't feel good about it. I'm sorry for letting down the cause. I'll call those bastards tomorrow and ask them where I send my check.
