What they said, and what i agree with, is that it is a completely civil matter and should be handled in as exactly that. It is not and should not be the responsibility of the DOJ or any other part of the government to prosecute civil matters.

    2. Under current cases the financial penalties allowed under copyright infringement exceed most cases of petty theft In reply to: "Bush administration opposes RIAA-backed copyright bill"
