Though her Dad maybe should be more aware of what is 9-year old daughter is doing online ...
Yoc:
I know several adults that are clueless about computers. But their young children sometimes know more than I do about them.
In this case he claimed he didn't know what was going on but then notes the downloads didn't work and they bought the album.. so I think he knew what she tried to do.
The idea police needed to raid the home though seems totally ridiculous.

True, but it's all about prioritizing - let's get the low hanging fruit, instead of wasting time/energy on hard to catch criminals, like child molesters, rapists, murderers, etc.

More to the point, the cops shouldn't be involved at all in copyright cases. It's civil law, not criminal law. And something that the MPAA and RIAA don't seem to want to believe, if she isn't redistributing the files, then she's only breaking copyright in an indefinable technical sense that computers can't do anything except copy stuff--by this sort of logic, cops should be able to put you in custody for watching a movie so many times that you can quote from it.
But it's not one-sided. You don't need to know anything specific about computers to teach your kids to not download weird files from a source that isn't trustworth, just like you don't need to know anything about human trafficking to teach your kids not to get into cars with strangers...unless they have candy, I mean.
No, hang on...
Roygbiv666:
So, in real life, if one violates copyright, one should expect to be served a paper of some sort? This is never covered in "Law & Order" or "CSI", which is where all my legal knowledge comes from. Also, my drug knowledge.
