Just sign the summons, kid
The RIAA was thwarted in its attempt to sue a technologically illiterate Michigan mother for allowing her daughter to "allegedly" download songs. So they asked the court to appoint a guardian ad litem for the child so they could sue the kid directly. The judge said no, but in future cases that will probably be the RIAA's first step, and the judge will say yes.
I just pictured Lars Ulrich walking out of the courtroom with a Hilary Duff bank as the young girl cries her eyes out.

The RIAA has now sued the 14-year old directly, and asked the court to appoint a guardian ad litem to represent her interests in the lawsuit.
Assuming they win a judgment against her, it's hard to imagine how they could possibly collect on it. She could use the services of a bankruptcy lawyer...
