Re: Copyright infringement is ALSO a criminal offense
said by TKJunkMail  :Copyright infringement is ALSO a criminal offense when the gov't wants to bother to prosecute it. Probably what makes this different is that these guys didn't just copy for the personal use, or give copies away for free to friends (or anyone who connected to their machine). They were counterfeiting, selling it as real retail versions, and confusing the public.
Maybe people should know that Photoshop for $20 isn't legitimate. But, it still seems different to me. It's amazing they thought they could be so public and get away with it (when people quietly letting strangers grab copies for free via P2P are being discovered).
