"Still, the final legislation creates new classes of felony criminal copyright infringement, adds civil forfeiture provisions that incorporate by reference parts of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, and directs the Copyright Czar to lobby foreign governments to adopt stronger IP laws."
Looking over the pdf for the great czar position, I indeed see the references for civil forfeiture. It's there, and it is just as abusable as where it's sourced from (The drug abuse law referenced in the quote)
What it's intended for is irrelevant. It will be abused like all the other corrupt broad sweeping policies/laws enacted during Bush's rein.
