The reason this law will never be applied goes back to my comment about who invested, in addition to who builds software ontop of these tools
If the law were equally applied, bc of how the law has been consistently expanded by the music and movie industries would make all the people who make profit from the copyright infringement criminally liable; thanks to the broad powers of the Copyright Act+others
May be why DOJ/Trump asked supreme court to rule to rule in favor of Cox vs Sony idk
