"A mother has received a demand for £4,000 in compensation by solicitors acting for the music industry after her daughter, Emily, was caught illegally downloading songs by her favourite artists.
Mrs Price, a self-confessed computer illiterate, said: "I don't know where I'm going to get the money from. I'll have to go to prison because I haven't got that kind of money."
As well as using the PC to help with her homework, 14-year-old Emily had been using file-sharing to download 1,400 songs for free."

I rarely download individual songs, i'm more of an album man. And bit torrent is way better.
But 1,400 is quite a lot, so..
