The MPAA is seeking as much as $600,000 in damages, after the man lacked the means to pay a $4,000 fine.

“First of all, like I say, I guess I’d have to plead being naive about the whole thing,” he said.

“I personally didn’t do it, and I wouldn’t do it. But I don’t think it was anything but an innocent mistake my grandson made.”

Lawrence said his grandson, who was then 12, downloaded “The Incredibles,” “I, Robot,” “The Grudge,” and “The Forgotten” in December, without knowing it was illegal to do so.
