Nesson argues that the Digital Theft Deterrence and Copyright Damages Improvement Act of 1999 is unconstitutional because it effectively lets a private group - the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA - carry out civil enforcement of a criminal law.


It's not being proffered that the Copyright law (per se) is unconstitutional, it is however being suggested that this particular "enforcement" law (Act) is unconstitutional.

(Almost sounds lawyer like...)
