So what the company is big and the grandpa is small? He broke the fucking law! I'm with Adam - hate the game not the playa. If you are so appauled, lobby to change the law.

They tried to sue other big companies and that didn't work so the cowards went after the little people with no money! I will not buy from them no matter what until they stop!

In short, if our Congresscritters would actually [gasp] serve their personal constituents, not just their "corporate constituents," we'd get copyright laws fixed in a jiffy. If anything, downloading a small handful of movies should trigger a few hours of community service, or a $79 fine or whatnot. Triad pirate gangsters in Asia? Okay, that's a different scale. But a 12-year-old kid who downloaded 4 movies? Gimme a break. The laws need to be fixed. And/or our congresscritters (with the exception of kick-ass copyright-reform advocate Rick Boucher) need to be thrown out on their bums.
