I wish I was more familiar with copyright law. I wonder if there is anything in the law about intent or attempt? The judge's decision would seem to imply there is not. |

2 edits | You can read it all here. Each type of distribution (commercial gains, no gains, how much money needs to be involved, bootlegging, etc) and all of the requirements for it to be considered criminal are in the US Code. The NET didn't leave much to interpretation.

| I wonder if we'll see a push to change legislation? It wouldn't seem hard to make a convincing argument that "making avialable with intent to distribute even without gain" is needed in today's P2P world. I doubt it would be difficult to get it passed with perhaps the exception of legislators fearing a criminal case overload.  |
