<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2116262, member: 28107&quot;]The HPA only looks at the civil end.&nbsp; And unless specifically authorized by the HPA, then there is nothing that should preclude 18 U.S.C. Section 489 from applying.&nbsp; Repeal by implication is not favored. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, there is arguably a statutory conflict between the HPA and 18 U.S.C. 489 insofar as HPA authorized pieces are concerned.&nbsp; For HPA authorized pieces, there would be repeal by implication in order to provide effect to both statutes.&nbsp; But that would also conflict with the provisions of the HPA which state that it is not meant to limit the scope or remedy of any other statutes.&nbsp; I have always found this very interesting.&nbsp; With that said, unless expressly authorized by the HPA, there is no provision of law that I am aware of that would otherwise save the pieces from the broad, sweeping provisions cited in Title 18.&nbsp; This is the argument that I have been engaging in with Dan Carr on other forums for some time now, granted with additional caveats not applicable here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
