  • Thanks for contributing, and I'm happy to see more educational users. Unfortunately, the text as written was inaccurate, so I've rewritten it. While I understand that "copyright" has been in US law since 18th century, "criminal copyright law" has only been in since late 19th, so that gave quite the wrong impression. --Lquilter (talk) 20:21, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Theoretical Underpinnings" section lacks underpinnings

edit

The section does not explain why a government might want to criminalize copyright infringement, but instead just argues against the idea; this section, which has been there since the article's creation, could be a case of following a single source too closely or could just be POV-pushing.
