Crime as Forgiven by Against Me!, or just Crime, was the second EP released by punk band Against Me!. It was one of the first releases to achieve any level of circulation, due to their previous self-titled 12" only having sold 145 copies. The CD version contains six songs, although only four were on the vinyl edition that was released by Against Me!'s Sabot Productions. The CD version was released by Plan-It-X Records with two more songs, Impact and Burn.[1][2] The CD was re-pressed by Sabot to include the bonus tracks.
In early 2005, the band requested that Plan-It-X Records halt future represses of the CD version of Crime. It's been out of print since then. As no recording contract or exchange of rights had occurred, the record label complied under no obligation.
