How dare a fan drum up support for their favorite band! I am sure glad this is a federal crime – they belong locked up with all the other socio-paths.

What a disgusting story and gross abuse of our nation’s copyright laws by a few companies with vested interest. Releasing copyrighted works before the ‘public release’ is now a federal crime with different penalties than had the content already been released. Spare me. Under this law, you can be locked up for whistling a copyrighted tune before the ‘public release’. And they dare call it ‘Family Entertainment and Copyright Act’… (FECA). I say it should be ‘For Egregious Copyright Abuse Law’ or FECAL for short.
