Or they ought to be stripped of their personal property rights? (Less amicable to this.)

Or perhaps be jailed in one of the federal sexual molestation camps? (If we do this one, people might just say we've overreacted!)

"And therefore.... what?"

Nothing, I was just mentioning that I find it humorous is all. You and Sonist seemed hell bent on connecting my point to these specific cases and so I thought I'd clarify. Though I'm sure you were both doing so because it was easier for you that way.

Oh and lets be clear, there is nothing "far less directly" about it. Downloading an authors work without paying for it is just as much a violation of that authors rights as Amazon deleting a book is of the kindles' owner. The only distinction is in the later case the wrong was done to the kindle owner who is complaigning and in the former it was done to someone else.
