You completely missed the boat here. He wasn't implying it's not a crime, he was saying it's a CIVIL offense, not a felony offense. The difference being the former is punishable only by fines whereas the latter is punishable by fines as well as incarceration or, in extreme cases, death.
Thank you for your clarification, though. It reinforces that it is, in fact, civil as the only punishments are fines.
