This is a normal post I don't have an automatic 'sympathy radar' for people who commit crime
just because it involves the internet

This is a normal post I assumed you were going to offer some defence and then I could shout
"TELL IT TO THE JUDGE!" Damn.

This is a normal post yeah but he wont have to "tell it to a judge"
because he's not making any direct income from the use or copying of copywrited material...

he might be DMCA'd but nothing more...

however sir, because you are hosting the content, and also generating ad sales... you might have to tell it to the judge...

and this kid did... because it was sustained piracy... not a single photoshop image.

This is a normal post But it would be tought to argue in court...
...that me having seen this would make me less likely to buy their commercial product? Which is surely one of the things they have to prove, unless the US system is very different? (apologies, not too hot on how their legal code works on this)

This is a normal post Not really convinced the punishment fits the crime on this one
You can get drunk and go drive your car into a crowded footpath and you'd get off with less.

This is a normal post You're the second person to post something completely irrelevant as though it justifies the case we are discussing

This is a normal post How is that irrelevant?
You raised the point of punishment fitting the crime, and it's a crime. Perhaps i'm agreeing with you

This is a normal post Personally I am quite happy that someone who brutally murdered over 200 people gets the rest of their life in jail.
Maybe we're talking past each other a bit here.

This is a normal post I agree
I just think it's a bit unrealistic to throw six thousand years at a middle aged human being

This is a normal post I was living in Hobart when Martin Bryant shot 36 people in Port Arthur.
His sentence was over 200 years but nobody was saying "This is a farce, he'll never live that long", they were saying "Good, he'll never come out of jail alive".

As that article says, it is largely a symbolic sentence.

This is a normal post To be fair it is slightly relevant, to the last sentence anyway,
if somewhat of a non-sequitor in regards to the whole subject.
