I don't know... if someone accused you of "
probably costing someone else some
unknown amount of money," convicted you, and
took your house away, would that seem "as good as" any other punishment to you? I maintain that the punishment does not fit the crime, not even slightly.

One of the greatest strengths of the web is that it makes that possible. I expect more and more artists to become their own enterpreneurs this way, and more and more people going directly to the source for music and books.
I can't see this decision as being anything but overkill... like executing an embezzler with a howitzer. Can it result in anything but an outcry of support for Thomas, and a backlash against the music industry?
