What rationale? I didn't propose anything, other than my opinion that
this bill is ridiculous.

Punished, yes.  Punished by 5 years in jail, a $250,000 fine, and a
felony conviction on your record? I don't think so.  That's freaking
insane.

Anyway, there are ALREADY plenty of laws on the books, making copyright
infringement illegal.  We don't need another law which just re-hashes
the same stuff, IMHO.

TTYL,
