I guess that's something else a bunch of us learned about the world from moving in those circles. Important life lessons provided by being at least adjacent to music piracy.

Music piracy and copyright infringement are civil matters, the police is (...should not be?) involved.

Police exists to enforce the policy set by legislations.

Legislations define rules to protect "us" from harm, but police is for policing only.

They do not protect people. They protect the law.
