Yup. Perhaps that6's why they're so good at Customer Service: because the complete asshat at the top has actual experience at being an asshole and passed on the "what not to do" list to the rest.
The difference between the two cases is orders of magnitude: for a start, in this case there is no legal precedent in the court for this. None whatsoever. In the Tenenbaum and Thomas-Rasset cases, there was not only a legal precedent, but a statute of civil fines in place.
I find it highly amusing that all these things begin their lifer as "free-trade" agreements. There's no trade and there's nothing free about them. Terrorism at its finest.
