Pirate Music, Lose Your House
Los Angeles County just added a new category to the rule that allows it to declare property a public nuisance. Under this law… The county retains the right to shutter a property for up to a year for [engaging in music/video piracy] and also gives local authorities the right to bring a civil action to “temporarily restrain, preliminarily enjoin, and/or permanently enjoin the person or persons intentionally conducting, or knowingly maintaining or permitting the public nuisance from further conducting, maintaining, or permitting such a public nuisance.” They can shutter your house for up to a year because you downloaded a song? Seems a bit extreme, don’t you think? This is asinine. Whatever happened to the punishment fitting the crime.
