: "Elderly Are Targets in Internet Subpoenas" reads the slightly hyperbolic AP headline. This is no surprise that some of the RIAA filesharing subpoenas went to owners of Internet accounts who were not aware what members of their huosehold were doing. "Within five minutes, if I can get hold of her, this will come to an end," said 67-year old Gordon Pate about his filesharing daughter of 23. I hope he does not resort to violence... The problem is, it's too late. This is bad PR for the RIAA.
