Re: more american competition at it's best
But you can't just throw out the word 'theft', when a COPY does not deprive the original owner of a work. The correct word is 'infringement', and the supreme court ruled that infringement is NOT THEFT. They are two totally different things, and trying to describe it as 'theft' puts a negative connotation on an act that is truly victimless. Let's call it what it is, copyright infringement, not theft. The penalties for copyright infringement are ALWAYS civil, not criminal. Trying to make a civil crime into a criminal crime is just not right.
