That's an argument to reduce the penalty for sharing a single music file, not for making the penalty for a false report also ridiculous.

Then again, I personally do think that knowingly filing a false report of law-breaking should be treated as a very serious crime. I think the harm of filing a false report of copyright infringement is greater than the act of infringing copyright itself.

I mean it should be AT LEAST be handled like a copyright infringement itself. As you propose as owner of the copyright...

For stuff that is actually copyrighted that probably could only be triggered by the actual rights holder.
