DoD Warez Leader Faces 10 Years in Jail
An anonymous reader writes "After spending nearly 3 years in a detention center fighting his extradition from Australia, a leader of notorious warez group 'DrinkorDie' was yesterday arraigned before a U.S. District Court to face charges of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and one count of actual criminal copyright infringement. If found guilty he faces 10 years in jail & a $500,000 fine."

Well, when you take into consideration that you're also more likely to be raped in prison than you would be had you murdered someone, then, uhhh, shit that sucks, that guy better kill someone fast.

Of course. We have a God given right to make a profit. Salaries are paid from profits. Think of all the little children who went hungry because this jackass disrupted our profits.
Now think of the drunken driver incident. The undertakers have to make a profit too. The drunken driver facilitated undertaker profits and that is an attenuating circumstance.
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!

To do something right, you often have to roll up your sleeves and get busy.
Anyone else find it funny that a criminal is being extradited from Australia? Didn't we send those Darn convicts there in the first place?
Theft of copyright is not possible, the premise is theft of 'presumed' revenues.
Well, obviously if you pirated it, you needed it, and you would have bought it if you couldn't have pirated it.
For instance, I use a program at work that costs $30,000 a copy. I made $20K last year. Obviously, if I couldn't have pirated it, I would have eaten garbage, lived in an alley, and sold all my plasma to buy it.
When reading the headline the first time, I thought the Department of Defense had a warez server. (For playing Age of Empires during boring Pentagon meetings or something.)

Should, therefore, US women who dare to show some skin in magazines that are exported to the Middle East be dragged to some backward Islamic court to be stoned to death?
Allow me to suggest a double-standard.
In the case of Britney Spears: yes.
In the case of Natalie Portman: no.

The Right Reverend K. Reid Wightman,
I'd like to remind you that we're dealing with a *pirate*, here. These are the same people who fire their weapons on our ships at sea, kill our children, rape our women, and in this particular case, they were forcing people to either "drink or die".
Remember, kids: There is no crime more serious than copyright infringement. When you infringe copyright, you are possibly stealing from some of the richest organisations in the world. By definition, nothing could be more immoral.
