Cruel and unusual punishment? No way! Plain old stealing. When are people going to learn that you have to pay for things you want. We have been so far removed from ethics that even FREEPERS are questioning theft and thinking it is ok. Sad how far we have gone down the tubes. No wonder Romney was nominated.

Well I sure hope, for the sake of not being hypocrites, that none of you ever burned a CD for a friend. You know, that’s illegal too right?

I think you're missing his point. Since when is a music CD ($20 and 10-20 songs) worth $450,000*?
A more equitable solution would be a fine of $14/song; that would be 7x the value per-song of the CD.

* -- $450,000 = $22,500 x 20; I'm using high-end, even so low-end is $225,000.
