It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

Law is always part of an ideological whole, that stems from the material base. Justice will always feel different to the opposed classes, we have to force our justice or their justice is forced on us.
