"College students, listen up: Don't mess with Texas.
Texas Rep. John Carter, that is."
"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."
[...]
"I can't see turning millions of college students into criminals," said
Graham Spanier, president of Pennsylvania State University. "We'd have
to build a lot of new prisons to hold the lawbreakers engaged in piracy
of copyrighted materials."
[...]
"We support criminal prosecution of those who break the law and believe
that effective deterrence is a necessary part of combating piracy," an
RIAA spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail.
