I think you're on to something here, but I'd say that the record company selling her the CD with no DRM is actually breaking the law. 

Because by doing so they are 'making the file readily available for illegal, copyright infringing distribution through, for example, the kazaa network.'


How long is the US going to let this crap go on?

Its basically Record companies robbing people, they never have actual evidence and never stipulate how much they maybe have lost.

Also how do they know the downloaders dont already have a copy of the song somewhere else on CD in the car or on Vinyl and just want a copy to preserve the record from being used, surely that is within the rights of making a backup.

Will it become a new way of doing business, capitalism has gotten out of hand here, its vile and needs to be stopped.

As the music was clearly not encoded with any form of DRM, isn't the publisher of the music equally at fault for distributing music in a form that would allow for its illegal distribution?

Clearly by just providing the opportunity for someone to break the law is as bad as actually breaking the law. Therefore by not encoding the music with any form of copyright the publisher has provided an opportunity for Jammie to break the law.

Ok, so like, is this surprising? I would have to say know, the DoJ is nothing more than the presidents front office for letting corporate America do whatever it wants.

This is not really important until the Supreme Court decides to hear the case and then rules on it.
