That's crap ... if you break the law, don't complain if you get taken to court for it, just like if you steal from a store ... just because the product is digital and easily copied, doesn't make it right. If you don't like the price they want to charge, then don't buy, or 'steal' it. Or if you do steal it, don't complain when you are prosecuted for breaking the law.

Now here is a good man.
This is no different from robbing a bank, getting away with it, then they track you down. You are caught, you broke the law, deal with the consequences.
But the thing I think should be allowed is a demo of songs. If you like it enough to buy it, then go buy it. Support something you like, don't kill it.
That 12 year old deserved it as much as anyone. I think it would be all the better for them to track down all the little kids who have done it, so maybe they'll learn something in life.
