Harvard Prof strikes back at RIAA

They've certainly stretched the definition of commerce out of shape, so a person might be in violation of commerce laws for driving his own pet across state lines. They've been using it to justify unjust laws.
 
the fact of the matter is that you can record movies from TV and record music from the radio with no consequences, the moment you do it off the net you get your jewels sued off.

One should be required to accept the consequences of his own illegal actions.
A reduced sentence or even settling out of court is just going to encourage others to violate that same law. At some point, this issue has to be settled decisively ...perhaps now is the time.

People simply should NOT be permitted to take the law into their own hands.

Private, noncommercial copies by consumers using "digital audio recording devices" are explicitly protected by §1008. The Senate report defines noncommercial as "not for direct or indirect commercial advantage", offering examples such as making copies for a family member, or copies for use in a car or portable tape player.
