Yes, but the real story here is if the Feds are going to get into the habit of investigating/prosecuting civil copyright infringement. That is supposed to be the responsibility of the individual rights holder, not the government.

There's a big difference between "RIAA vs Joe citizen" and "The People vs Joe citizen". The second is only supposed to happen in criminal trials.
