What does how easy something is to get away with have to do with anything? Technology makes certain kinds of securities fraud massively easier to get away with. Should we decriminalize them now?



I can't speak for username3, but the way I read his/her comment suggested the opposite. If a crime is very easy to get away with (like piracy), the penalties have to be higher to discourage people from doing it.
