Re: FBI files CRIMINAL charges against music uploader said by insomniac84:So you are upset over wasted tax payer money, yet you go on to say you have no problems with the RIAA using the legal system to do just that. Do you really think courts are free? That's a silly conclusion. Civil courts serve a legitimate purpose. If we took your idea to its logical conclusion, we might as well shut down the civil court system in this country.
The RIAA has every right to defend the interests of its members by filing civil suits against people who infringe on their copyrights.
It just seems as though law enforcement in general has just gone soft on "real" crime. Cops seem more willing to hand out speeding tickets than to go after gang-bangers.

It's supposed to be silly. It's making fun of what you said about the FBI. So basically you are saying it's ok to abuse the civil court system all you want, but when it comes to criminal law we need to "take it seriously".
said by pnh102:The FBI should be going after criminals who pose a physical threat to others. You do know there are many crimes that don't physically hurt people, right? |

While there are cases involving the RIAA, MPAA and other such companies that have been lost on their merits, there are still others that have been won and/or settled. Just because such companies have a negative image doesn't mean that they do not deserve to engage in their rights to protect their property.
said by insomniac84:You do know there are many crimes that don't physically hurt people, right? Of course.
I stand by my original post. Violent criminal gangs operating in multiple states pose far more of a threat to people than white collar crooks.
