There's been a lot of debate on Threat Level recently about what's a federal crime and what is not when it comes to file sharing copyrighted music on the internet.

A 27-year-old California man, Kevin Cogill, of Culver City, learned the hard way Wednesday.

If convicted, he faces a maximum three years imprisonment under the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005.

Doesn't it make you feel good to know that the FBI spent it's resources on arresting such a devastating pirate, who ruined the world wide music market by leaking 8 tracks which will sell for $0.99 each? Violation of the Family Entertainment Act; talk about sarcasm.
