I have a son older than yours, he also should know better, when it comes to downloading or picking up dodgy stuff, yet from time to time he does something that kills off his PC or laptop.

In addition, colleagues that I work with also complain that their adult children, who also should know better, either download malware to their PCs or go from relative to relative downloading and killing PCs in their wake.

Young adults are notorious for doing things they know they should not do.

As for Limewire and the others still running, well files sharing is not illegal, e.g. using LW to share your holiday photos with your friends and neighbours. Therefore, you can share anything that you own (and own the copyright for). However, in general (and depending on the laws of your country), sharing copyright material is illegal, such as tracks from your CD or scanned photos from a magazine.
