United States v. LaMacchia

• ...there was a time you could only be tried as a criminal for copyright infringement if you profited from the act?

• There are a couple of paragraphs which lack citations; once these are added this will pass. Also, the hook does not include a link to the actual article; I suggest:

ALT1: ... that copyright infringement not involving profit was not a criminal offense in the United States between the 1994 United States v. LaMacchia ruling and the 1997 passage by Congress of the NET Act?

All the unreferenced paragraphs were supported by the sources cited elsewhere in the article, so after checking them I added the duplicate references myself. This is good to go. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 00:03, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
