my friend is doing this, and he wanted to know.
Answer:
Generally the music industry sues for approx $5,000 to $15,000 dollars.
They would sue the household that the internet service was connected from, when the download occurs.
IE:
If he was downloading at home, they would sue his parents.
same as it is for an adult....chances are you won't get caught as long as the person isn't sharing files themselves and is just downloading....usually they settle for a fair price...as long as you're not downloading any software, then you can get into some very deep trouble...
chances are you won't get caught though.
He will have his PC taken. Since it can be considered a federal crime, there may be an investigation by the FBI. His parents may loose custody of him, and pay high fines. He and his family can be sued. (There goes their retirement money).
It depends on laws, and whats going on in the area you live in.
I suppose he can continue to do it and find out when he gets busted. By the way , no one in law enforcement cares if you're a Minor. If you're old enough to commit an adult like crime you'll probably do time, especially if you've been in trouble before.
