When you violate US copyright law, the feds really just kinda laugh and say "ok, sure, whatever."
The Feds seized 82 domains related to trafficking in counterfeit goods, one of those being a torrent site. They are trying to pass ACTA, a copyright treaty that would circumvent a nation's own laws. They are trying to pass COICA which is in the Congress right now. The DMCA, ever hear of it? The RIAA and the MPAA are trying to make the DoJ their own legal enforcement department. Yeah, the Feds just don't care about copyright law.
Rose Parks broke the law, too.
I think you meant Rosa Parks, unless of course you were actually referring to the Outkast song, and in that case my mistake.
The biggest mistake you can make is to believe that you are working for someone else.
