    Arrests? Like for other copyright violators?

    Oh, lordy. This is a fight I really hope happens. Meta vs the combined DMCA lobby.

      One of those fights where I’m rooting for both sides to lose.

        It does if you do it a lot and then resell it. Which is what happened to a bunch of people in the days of Napster, and is exactly what these fuckers are doing.
