In some cases, educating a large number of people, including judges, is extremely important. Under the Copyright Act, a judge can already find a person guilty of a criminal offence and sentence that person to a maximum of five years. However, it is clear that to date, the courts have been reluctant to give sentences that long. The act exists and gives the court to power to impose sentences like that. So there is no need to amend the act to enable it to do that, that is already the case, except that to date, the courts have been very reluctant to act.
