For those of you who have never checked this site out, please take a minute and go there (http://www.cybercrime.gov/). Here is a site that tells you all about those who decide to break the law via computers and technology. Everything from Hackers to Copyright infringement. Don't think it can happen to you? It can. All the government needs is for you to accrue $15,000 in damages so that they can put you on trial. Think that's a lot of money? Did you know that with one song download they can reach that $15,000 mark? Believe it!! According to them you have affected the band, the record company, the people who make the CDs, etc, and then they bring in Lawyer fees, court fees, cost of putting you away and so on and so forth. They can reach that $15,000 mark very, very quickly. So, check out the site. There's a lot of interesting stuff on there. Here's a couple articles I found very interesting: (http://www.cybercrime.gov/thomasPlea.pdf) (http://www.cybercrime.gov/martinezSent2.pdf)
