Patent violation and copyright violation are two different things. Plus... that was BEFORE the Digital Milennium Act which the the Music/Movie industry...er... I mean Congress... signed into law. It gives copyright holders (especially of digital material) MUCH broader rights. Heck... copyright holders can get information about a SUSPECTED copyright violator without even seeing a courtroom for a court order. So much to a right for privacy. The government is leaving private industry to decide guilt and innocence. Gotta love it. It just goes to show that the congress is not interested in their constuients... but in how much they money they can get from private interest groups.
