But wait -- I thought "sharing" movies and music isn't a crime?
Maybe you should get your facts straight. 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.
