Are we all guilty of Misprision if we see these advertisements and fail to report them to the authorities? I seriously doubt it!

Under the US code and maybe under state codes, failure to report a felony is known as "misprision".

Does anyone know if being an accessory before or after the fact of copyright infringement is a felony?
