Do Not Pass Go
Texas Rep. John Carter thinks he has the perfect solution for stopping illegal file trading on campuses: jail student offenders for three years or more:
“What these kids don’t realize is that every time they pull up music and movies and make a copy, they are committing a felony under the United States code,” Carter said in an interview. “If you were to prosecute someone and give them three years, I think this would act as a deterrent.”
Yes, obviously the solution is not to acknowlege the shift in consumer listening habits, but to build more jails.
