"professional copyright infringement"
Excuse me, but 'professional' could mean anything. Some people use it to mean that they're following standard industry practices; others use it because they're always dressed in suits. Another definition separates 'professionals' from 'amateurs' in a way that 'professionals' earn their money with their trade, and amateurs are just messing about; there is much jealousie-de-metier here.
This vagueness of the term 'professional' causes me to immediately ask what it really entails if somebody pitches to me that their services are 'professional'.
- kephra 15y agothe original text (see the png of my posting below) says, "gewerbsmaessige Begehung von Urheberrechtsverletzung", so the professional in the torrentfreaks translation refers to earning money.
