I've been trying to stay out of this pointless discussion but I can't
let this go by. John, what is your basis for this statement? Are you
aware that section 504(c)(2) of the United States Copyright Act allows
statutory damages of up to $150,000 for willful copyright infringement,
and statutory damages of $750 to $30,000 for non-willful copyright
infringement?
