To be clear, I'm looking for references to criminal law, not civil or case law. This all seems a combination of the latter, and even here it's not obvious what applies in cases where a third party produces the infringing content.

Neat concept. In regulated environments, how would you propose implementing this to minimize the spread of live, regulated data into non-prod environments? think full PANs (PCI) etc. I don't know that there's necessarily a wrong a
