Comment Civil vs Criminal (Score 1) 290
I think this goes with the topic and it is one I have been wrangling with since this whole Napster/Gnutella thing reared it's ugly head. In America, anybody can sue anyone. This is a civil case and the burdon of proof lies in the accused. There IS no innocent until proven guilty in civil cases. Rather you're guilty until proven innnocent. So RIAA and MPAA and whoever can bleet all they want, DMCA or not. If the Fed's get involved and try to prosecute, well, I would seriously wonder about the political ambitions of the DA who backed that case. Just my two non-cents. Kirch Signature! We don't need no steenking signature!
