    So you’re saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter’s end? Eh, fair enough.

      Honestly it is less severe than speeding. Copyright was an invention of the pre-digital era. Now that we all use computers, so many things we do every day are technically copyright infringement that it is absurd to even have these kinds of conversations.

    Yeah, I’ve been ticketed for speeding, and that certainly doesn’t come with the threat of arrest.
