I'm only asking because I have a "friend" that purchases bootleg cds, but thinks that the police can only arrest you if you are the one selling the bottleg cds/movies and that they won't bother to charge you with anything if you merely purchase the bootledgged products. Anyone know what the law is on this topic?
(Note: the "friend" in the first sentence does not refer to me. Seriously. I'm just.... working on a short story.... and I want to know whether my protagonist would be arrested for such an act.... yeah...)
