US Court Gives 15 Months' Jail, $415,900 Fine For Game Piracy

An anonymous reader writes "A Florida man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay US$415,900 in restitution for selling video game systems that were preloaded with more than 75 pirated copies of games." If that fine sounds a bit steep, note that his profits on the devices "exceeded $390,000."

$390,000 profit, same penalty as a few songs...

Anybody else see an imbalance here? He made $390,000 but he's getting about the same penalty as some people who downloaded a dozen songs on P2P.

Justice? Not here...
