Re: Oh! Yes, Copyright Infringements Can be Criminal

I at one time was involved with suing individuals and there businesses in Federal Court for copyright infringements. And yes, Copyright Infringements Can be Criminal...

United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., 334 U. S. 131,
158 (1948). And deliberate unlawful copying is no less an
unlawful taking of property than garden-variety theft.
See, e.g., 18 U. S. C. §2319 (criminal copyright infringement); §1961(1)(B) (copyright infringement can be a predicate act under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act); §1956(c)(7)(D) (money laundering
includes the receipt of proceeds from copyright infringement).

Re: Oh! Yes, Copyright Infringements Can be Criminal

Well that's case law against a corporate entity. Which I would assume would mean they were selling copyrighted material. Which is actually stealing. There's no legislated criminal law on the books for making a copy of something, with no money changing hands. Case law should only be viewed narrowly, especially because it is so often over-turned.
