Gardai foil plot by girl (11) to download Cheryl Cole album

jail these sick criminals now

By Waterford Whispers News

An 11-year-old 'Girls aloud fundamentalist' is facing charges of copyright theft after Waterford Gardai said they thwarted a plan to download a pirate version of Cheryl Coles new album.

The Copyright Pirate, named only as LiTtLePrInCeSs_97, was arrested in Ballygunnar, Cork Road, Waterford, yesterday morning, seconds after leaving her home and armed with a 10 pack of Tesco re-writeable CD's packed with 7,000 Mb's of disc space ready for use.

Her parents were said to have been 'real worried' about her behaviour after they heard her singing the latest instalment of the pop princesses new number one single in the shower. They then called Gardai shortly after finding a suspected Al-Qaeda link on their home computer called 'Bit-Torrent'.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) believes that Waterford narrowly escaped an influx of 'cheesy poppy music cheese' and has publically thanked local detectives for their rapid response.
Gardai swooped to the Ballygunnar address minutes after the distressed call.

The incident raised the question of the influence of popular music stations and TV talent programmes.
Mayor of Waterford City, Jack Walsh, said that he knew the family well and that the girl was a fan of Cheryl Cole for the last 3 years "Young people seem to think that downloading music is part of everyday life.This is not the case and it is time for new measures in copyright law and enforcement."

The girl is likely to be charged in Waterford District court today with attempted music download. She faces a mandatory 10 year sentence.

(Reuters) A New Jersey man was jailed for up to three months on Friday for making himself vomit on a fellow spectator at a baseball game.

Matthew Clemmens, 21, was sent to prison for at least 30 days, given two years probation, and ordered to serve 50 hours of community service, and pay $315 in restitution after the incident.

"Clemmens pleaded guilty to making himself throw up on a young girl at a Phillies game," the district attorney's office said in a statement.
