In fact, is Jon prosecuted for having played DVD freely ?

So, why :

- everyday, hundred of thousands people use peer-to-peer softwares to upload 'tons of DivX' freely ?

- cracked-DVD player software are upload as above, freely too ?

- DVD to CD Video ripping softwares, ....

Justice seems to catch one for all others ones.

I don't think Jon's experience will stop people like him.

He only should be free, or have a minimal fee to pay.
