Billion Dollar Charlie Wants Net Copyright Debate

In a follow up to ongoing coverage of the case against Joel Tanenbaum, Ars Technica reports how the government doesn´t agree with Harvard law professor´s Charlie Nessons views, but that it doesn´t bother him. As far as he is concerned there needs to be a larger discussion regarding internet copyright and piracy, since the current laws are designed to cover commercial piracy and the damages claimed in such cases are too high to be paid individuals. So is it right to bankrupt someone for downloading an MP3 file, and is there are electronic copies even properly handled by existing legislation. As far as I´m concerned anything that goes against the RIAA´s bully tactics and forces the recording industry to look for more appropriate business models is a welcome thing.
