70-year old grandma accused of sharing porn via torrent Over the years we have posted many, many cases of Americans being sued over unauthorized BitTorrent sharing.
A few of these cases, however, have been so ridiculous that there are little redeeming factors for the groups that brought them, such as the RIAA, MPAA and others. Some of those cases involved grandmothers, others involved kindergartners, one involved a networked printer and one even involved the recently deceased.
Today, another such case has hit the media, with a 70-year old widow being accused of sharing hardcore porn via torrents.
The group that brought the case will allow her to settle for $3400, or she will have to go to court and risk a fine of $150,000.
Without giving into the horrendous suit, the grandma (who admits she does not even know what a torrent is) will not settle and will fight the case, defending herself.
The Jane Doe says she has a quick line of defense (via TF)
