If you can not link distribution to profit IE money gained above the cost of distribution then its not a fucking crime.

These morons need to get a fucking clue with little to no fair use or public domain how the fuck are people suppose to protect themselves from corporate abuses of power?

They aren't.. we are living in a world where greedy business is out of control.

They will kill everything with their greed. When information is only in the hands of the few we will be back in the age of feudalism and slavery for the rest.

We are pretty much there, people are slaves to disinformation and apathy they don't care they are abused by the phallic machine of government or corporate they worship...

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Next they will consider buying a movie and a case of blank media to be "Intent to pirate"...even if no copies are ever made and the media is never even opened, and the purchases are made in different places months apart.

It sounds crazy, but it has already happened in other industries. For example, a firearms dealer who sells both the M16 and the AR15 is not allowed to own or sell replacement recievers for the M16; doing so is considered manufacturing illigal weapons...even if the M16 recievers are never removed from the shipping containers. However, it is perfectly legal for him to sell, stock, or give away M16 recievers if he does not set AR15s!

Welcome to the land of the free.
