15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.

Just goes to show how horrendous this sort of crime is. I hear dvd pirates are on the same cell blocks as pedophiles in prison.

What? Really? I would have thought dvd pirates would have far worse conditions than pedophiles.

Don't let it fool you. Serial pirates are the biggest enemy of mankind. We should strive together to make sure they get the penalty they deserve.

That depends, is the pedophile a high profile person or a creepy poor person?

One is running some nobodies over, the other making a rich person some pennies less rich.

Must set a precedent, y'know?

on paper

It's making them less rich only if you assume pirated copies would've been sales. That's generally not the case, and piracy can often increase sales by pirates recommending things to people who will actually buy.
