If there is no profit being made I would think it would be classified as non commercial infringement. So to me the law would not legally be applicable to individual file sharers although I'm sure they would try to use it that way. The situation that would worry me is whether such a law would apply to websites like YouTube or hosting companies could they be locked up for not blocking content? Clearly this isn't as cut and try as the lobby group would like it to be. I’d be curious to see whether or not an individual sharing files online could be considered a commercial copyright infringer.
