Re: A bunch of crap... Felons can't possess firearms.
Drunk drivers lose their licenses.
Securities fraud results in loss of credentials.
Gross medical malpractice results in loss of medical license.
But wait -- I thought "sharing" movies and music isn't a crime?  |

In most cases "sharing" movies and music without permission over the internet is a tort rather than a crime. The content providers should have to seek their own private enforcement. Other than providing the courts for the lawsuits and enforcing the judgments of the courts the government shouldn't be involved in a free rather than tyrannical country. ACTA is tyranny! |

Felons can't possess firearms... In most cases, I don't support this idea either. The right to bare arms should not be usurped
Drunk drives lose their licenses... LOL... Really? Not very often, and surely not for life.
The rest of your points, were as equally unimpressive.
If I ride a bike, to rob a bank, should I never be able to own a bike again?
Using the internet, to commit a crime, should be viewed no differently, than using a public road to do the same.
The courts in this country get away with a bunch of crap, that they shouldn't. It is getting way out of hand.
We the people, shouldn't have to fear our government, they should fear us.

Crimes are only for law abiding citizens. Rich criminals somehow have a different set of laws. |

Yeah, because downloading a song or movie off the Internet is up there with those high crimes.
Not.
Maybe we should prosecute the RIAA etc et all for "Crimes against Humanity".

It's called Corporate Interests (money) trump Individual rights or freedoms (or Justice!).
More simply put: He who has the Gold makes the rules.

1 edit | How about extortion, Racketeering and other travesty of justice, violation of the Constitution (Ever heard of the punishment fitting the crime?)
10 years in prison? $100,000 fine? Really? And don't tell me it's because *our* "Representatives" set these punishments. They sure as hell weren't "representing" the public interest when they keep upping the punishment, extending the terms, and restricting public use.
