Wrong. 4500+ copies is "mass distribution."

In any event, the DMCA was intended to address not only those who distribute copies, but those who provide "circumvention devices"
that enable others to engage in mass distribution. Doesn't it make as much sense to go after those involved in "mass distribution"
of the circumvention device, such as DeCSS?
