Comment The wording (Score 1) 33
After Monday's amendment was added, a first offense of less than $1,000 of theft would be punished by fine only, although an offense involving five or more communications devices would automatically be construed as a class D felony.
I don't like the wording there. Five or more communications devices? Where would the boundary of responsibility for the accused end in that? If someone downloads a song through their cable modem, which uses their (apparently not illegal in the revision) router and switch, would they count the server used to get the file, and the user's computer? There's the magic five. Would it stop at the source? Somewhere inside the ISP? Only local equipment? Seems to me they could easily construct a way to turn any of it into a felony using that rule. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding this?
