This is a ludicrous assertion and factually inaccurate beyond all practical intelligence.

A computer in service of an individual absolutely follows copyright because the creator is in control of the distribution and direction of the content.

Besides, copyright is a civil statute, not criminal. Everything about this comment is the most obtuse form of FUD possible. I’m pro copyright reform, but this is “Uncle off his meds ranting on Facebook” unhinged and shouldn’t be given credence whatsoever.

I don’t understand what means. A computer in service of an individual turns copyright law into mattress tag removal law—practically unenforceable.

None of that is correct. Some of it is not even wrong, demonstrating an unbelievably profound ignorance of its topic. Furthermore, it is gratuitously insulting.
