Peer-to-peer users who share more than 1,000 songs or other copyrighted works would face up to three years in prison under the bill. U.S. copyright investigators would be able to file civil suits, which require a lower standard of proof than criminal cases, echoing tactics already used by the recording industry.
Those who secretly videotape movies when they are shown in theaters or distribute movies before their release date would face up to 10 years in prison.
Yet white collar criminals who commit real crime by ripping off investors for millions get off with a slap on the wrist.
The corruption in government is just overwhelming.
