Look into how things went when kids used to rack up phonebills dialing into internet or BBS
Bit different imo in the sense that the subscriber to a phone service is knowingly incurring a debt for whatever calls are made, although I think the same argument could be made for those premium phone lines or long distance calls. Just saying "please ensure the billing party is aware you are making this call" isn't enough for me if I were on a jury.
In this case I doubt this woman knew buying an iphone meant giving her kid a blank check. She thought she was just going to have to pay for phone calls and text messages.
Shit like this has nothing to do with a jury. Ignorance of the law is no excuse...stop making excuses for dumb cunts
I disagree. The question of whether the OS manufacturer obtained her consent to make her credit card info available to her kid like that is the core issue here. It's absolutely the kind of question which could be put to a court.
