I believe Construct was trying to convey a relevant and considerate position; punishing people with prison sentences for playing movies over the internet is unjust.
As you are apparently aware, being classified a 'felon' requires that one be convicted of a crime for which the punishment is either a year+ in prison or death. How can you justify that type of punishment, including the attending permanent consequences, as being meaningless in the context of this conversation?

- guard-of-terra 15y agoWhen introducing a law, it's not importand who you are "after". It's important how it can be used. If it can be used against people watching movies, it would be, sooner or later. So the question is: can it be used that way?
