Personally I'd just point out to your parents that she's breaking the law and they could be fined for every single song she's got (9GBs they'd be looking at what, £500k+?). That should get their attention. And limewire is closely tracked as are torrents, we have a client at work who is being sued by a software company for £17000+ legal expenses for her son hosting a game for illegal download (avoid BitComet BTW ppl, it's very closely monitored it seems).
You do realise, that different countries have different laws, right?
I highly doubt Greece are even in this league of suing. Lets get one thing straight here; the only 2 main countries that have started serious fines ( and even at that, it hasn't been much in comparison to what is being downloaded ) and there are certain countries, like Sweden, who actively promote illegal downloading and say that it is fine for users to do. However, I do not know the greek laws too well, but I know that Germany is intent on shutting down anything like that, as well as Rapishare.
Soon, most p2ps will disappear, and a more powerful equivalent will arise, but until then, anyone who can't pay, is stuck with them.
I am most doubtful that greece would fine you, but if there have been court rulings there over it, then I would tell her to get her ass off it asap.
