The latter is a criminal offense; the former may or may not be. Copyright
infringement is not criminal (to the best of my knowledge), but if a judge
orders you to make reparations and you don't, that's contempt of court. I
believe *that* is a criminal offense. That's where we cross the line.

If a particular bit of criminal activity is decriminalized, it goes from the
realm of "criminal record and possible jail time" to "monetary penalty,
rather like a parking ticket." Some Canadians are a bit sensitive to that
difference these days.
