Why do schools and parents teach nothing about copyright laws? We're so obsessed with teaching our kids about drugs and drug laws (DARE), yet the potential punishment for intentional copyright infringement is much higher than being caught with a joint.
I do not agree with current copyright laws, but they do exist. Citizens need to have a better understanding the laws if we ever hope to have them changed.
Many people seem to be incredibly willfully ignorant about copyright stuff.
- freehunter 15y agoI know that personally I would be happier (as a relative term) being charged in a criminal suit such as having a joint than to be tried civilly as a file sharer. Having to pay a $250,000 fine would do just as much damage to my future as trying to get a job as a convicted felon. I'd be paying the price for the rest of my life anyway.
