    Default Being Charged with DVD Copying and Selling

    My question involves criminal law for the state of ME:

    I'm being charged with Copyright infringement.

    4 years ago and lunatic slit my throat at my house in an attempt to kill me (he was on pcp)

    I called the 911 in fear of my life and was hauled off to the hospital.

    In my house was equipment (computers, dvd burners) to copy dvd's I had been selling on (major book site). I had been selling them for 2 weeks.

    over the course of 2 weeks I sold around what they feds value at $14,000

    The first thing i've heard in the last 4 years about any of this was today.

    Does anyone know what I'm in for? I am seeking legal help and I have not yet hired an attourney. I have been looking all over the internet to try and find anything about these crimes but have come up empty handed.


    Since this happend 4 years ago I have held a steady well paying job. I have started a side business and I have gotten married.

    It boggles my mind that after so long they are coming after me for this and I have no idea what to expect.


    Any light shed on this would be great. Thank you very much.

    Anything anyone can do to point me in the right direction as far as legal defense or any info or similar cases would be much appreciated.


    I'll pay whatever it takes to keep me out of jail.

    You're being criminally charged? In state or federal court? What statute(s) are you charged with violating? (If you're facing criminal charges I highly recommend getting help from a criminal defense lawyer.)

    My "Acomplice" has been called by his lawyer and told that he is being charged in a Federal court. I have yet to be contacted by anyone other than a "Target Letter" about a year ago. A month before my wedding. I feel like they are going to go through him first and then come to me. But it just seems ludacris to go through all of this trouble over some burned/sold DVD's from 5 years ago. I can't believe that they can even wait that long.
    Any suggestions as to where to look for a "GOOD" attourney. I have looked anywhere. I wish there was a website like Amazon for lawyers where there was a rating system.

    Thank you for your help.
