Man put away for 33 months for pirating film.

Is this one of the first of this sort of thing? Seems overly harsh to me but I suppose he was the source of the file rather than just downloading or distributing.

I was also very surprised by the length of sentence. He bragged about it on Facebook after being arrested though, so may have been setting himself up as an example.
I'd be quite happy to see similar sentences for other types of counterfeiters, there are far worse out there (pharmaceuticals for example) , causing much greater loss and with real risks to the public.

When money is involved sentences tend to be higher. I wonder how many convicted of say death by dangerous driving got more time than this?
It isn't that this sentence is harsh, its that other arguably more serious crimes are overly lenient in too many cases.

When you mess with 'the man' you get fked.
This is not justice.
