Crime as Forgiven By, or just Crime, was the second real release by the folk punk band Against Me!, but the first to actually achieve any level of circulation, due to their previous self-titled 12" only ever having 145 copies sold. The record was recorded when Against Me! was only a two-member band; guitarist/vocalist Tom Gabel and drummer/vocalist Kevin Mahon. 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. The CD has been repressed 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. As no recording contract or exchange of rights had occurred, the record label complied under no obligation. As of the Fest 6, Plan-it-X is out of copies. The record will not be repressed on PIX.[1]
