Stealing other people’s property is immoral and illegal. Saying that we are using the government to “prop up” an industry that you don’t care for is incorrect.

I think I agree. I mean, we have laws against attempted burglary, attempted murder, attempted suicide. Actually, we have all kinds of laws against attempting to break the law. I don't see how this is any different.

I don’t care for all of the things listed as enforcement techniques but the fact remains that IP theft is a crime. Some of the crimes include people copying CDs, movies and software then trying to dump them back in our market or serving as an agent of spreading someone else’s IP around the market.

I also love listening to people complain about Hollywood or the RIAA making enough money. They sound just like that beyotch Hillary when she is going on about the oil companies.

The difference is the extraordinary ambiguous and changing nature of copyright law. An example being the FR cases of copyright.

We have state laws against them. We don't have federal laws against them, except on federal property. We also don't have life prison terms, even in state law, for people who purchase stolen goods.
