It's Good To Be the Child of a CEO
While the RIAA is suing kids (perhaps their parents, more correctly) for downloading music illegally, if you happen to be the child of the CEO of Warner Music Group, all you get is a slap on the wrist:
We asked Edgar Bronfman, the head of the world’s fourth largest music company, at the Reuters Summit whether any of his seven kids stole music.
“I’m fairly certain that they have, and I’m fairly certain that they’ve suffered the consequences.”
We couldn’t begin to guess what that means. He explained to our Second Life reporter, Adam Pasick:
“I explained to them what I believe is right, that the principle is that stealing music is stealing music. Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important. I can assure you they no longer do that.”

I'm sure the punishment included an iTunes account linked to Dad's credit card plus a stern reprimand to the nanny on duty
Yes. No doubt dad gave the strictest punishment that really, really rich parents give their children for downloading music.
