reports in an article on online copyright infringement that
“The federal government already pursues criminal charges against online copyright infringers, however. One recent case, sparked by MPAA complaints, saw the Justice Department charge a Cincinnati man with illegally offering episodes of "Stargate SG-1" http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/cac/pr2004/050.html on a Web site devoted to that show.
A Justice Department spokesman told me last week that Adam Clark McGaughey has agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge later this month. (He also said the feds had not used provisions of the Patriot Act to investigate McGaughey, countering a widely circulated Web rumor.) http://www.sg1archive.com/nightmare.shtml
