While on wishlists, I'd like to request support for moving copyright violations from criminal to civil law. By copying someone's work you are not depriving that person of the ability to use the work him/herself, only of projected income. IMO there's no reason why copyright violation should be treated as theft as opposed to, e.g., breach of contract with corresponding civil recourses.
