Middle schooler sued over lost iPod

WLS By Michelle Gallardo

August 21, 2006 (Last Updated: 4:16 PM) - A middle school student is accused of losing her classmate's iPod. A lawsuit was filed and the first court hearing was held Monday morning.

Shannon McCarthy says she lent her iPod to a girlfriend and then left class to go to the bathroom. The classmate, Stephanie Eick, says she listened to one song and left the iPod on Shannon's desk before leaving class herself. But Shannon never went back to that classroom and the iPod disappeared. Now both girls are in court over who should pay for the lost music player.

Stephanie's father, Steven Eick, left his daughter at home Monday.

"I think it's inappropriate to bring kids into court, and I think there are much better ways -- I was shocked that someone would litigate against a 13-year-old over an iPod," said Steve Eick, defendant.

In a couple of stories now, including the most recent one in The Naperville Sun ("iPod Skirmish Plays Out in Court", The Naperville Sun, Tuesday, August 22, 2006) it is stated that Mrs. McCarthy is seeking compensation for "$50 worth of iTunes." I can only assume this is referring to music on her daughter's iPod that was purchased from the iTunes Music Store. The fact is, music purchased from the iTunes Music Store is first downloaded to a person's computer. From there, it can be transferred to any number of iPods. Even if an iPod is lost or stolen, the music remains on the person's computer, and can be transferred to a new iPod. As a result, there can be no loss of that music in this case.
