A copyright infringement is a felony? Seriously?



It can be already, under the NET ("No Electronic Theft") Act, if memory serves. But the feds usually have better things to do than to prosecute people for that sort of thing.

Or at least they used to. It's clear that prosecuting infringers has become a priority recently. I expect more is to come.
