Skank Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ok all of you probably know i have a somewhat different view on the whole dj licensing and over the top fines for sharing music.I just came across this article and thought it is worth sharing. It helps shed some light on the absolute absurdity that is associated with the penalties dished out for file sharing. Our justice system has sold out to corporate interests.1. Child abduction: the fine ranges from $25000.2. Stealing the actual CD: the fine is $2,5003. Rob your neighbor: the fine is $375,0004. Burn a house down: The fine is just over $375,0005. Stalk someone: The fine is $175,0006. Start a dogfighting ring: the fine is $50,0007. Murder someone: The maximum penalty is only $25,000 and 15 years in jail, and depending on your yearly salary, would probably be far slighter a penalty than $2 million 8.Treason only carried a fine of $250,000what do you guys recon?
