Lets use some logic here. Theft under $100 carries a maximum fine of around $1000 dollars.

Stealing is not piracy.

If you pirate a $2.39 song you havn't stolen it as they still have the song, you have copied it. Yet this carries a maximum penalty of $15,000

So, Instead of copying music online, go into a store and steal the CD. You will get in less trouble.

I like it as it really show how stupid laws can be.
I will have to link up with my old school mate who was a right kleptomaniac.

1241194 2011-11-01 19:19:00 The fact that someone bothered to pirate a Rhianna song is also beyond me :p But overall I feel this law is stupid and beyond petty piracy claims I actually doubt it will go very far. The Error Guy (14052)
