Re: Illlegal Internet downloaling
In most states parents are liable for the civil torts of their children. You should delete the downloads and ensure that this doesn't happen again or you could be deemed personally liable. That written, your chances of being sued are not as great as they were just recently. But that can change and this is not worth the risk.
