in case you didnt see it, i edited my post to remind readers about the stanford RIPA conviction for interception of (copyright protected) Emails.
copyright was not required in the case to get the crimiinal conviction, but non the less copyright for profit is also a criminal act without consent etc... so it all ties in for our purposes probably.
its always good to let any officials know we know about these existing case law to help them realise we dont want this interception for profit or allowing them to monetise our data property without giving us our fees for the use of our property.
if copyrights good enough for the ISPs to use and kick
suspected infringers for non profit use, then its also good enough for the end users and website owners to use and kick them back when they do it for commercial Piracy for profit.
