How did they think they would get away with this?

Couldn't agree more. Although I am interested in seeing one of the movies just to see how good (or bad) the quality is.

Agreed. This is absolutely ridiculous to spend the resources to wrangle up these non violent people, and to label them a "gang" on top of it. Just so some fat cat can keep his multi million dollar bonus.

It just means you need to drop off the grid. If the guy can't pay the 400k, there are certain services he won't be able to take advantage of.

America is a big place. There are lots of areas where you can disappear - just don't expect to take advantage of Social Security or police/fire services if you go that route, and you probably shouldn't drive.

So after he gets out of prison can he declare bankruptcy and wipe out that unpayable debt or are fines immune to bankruptcy the same as student loans?

You know... debtors prison was one of the more inhumane and onerous powers the rich had over the poor in england when we were all peasants. Good job america on bringing it back.

By being here, going to a regional or national grocery chain, paying your gas/electric/water/internet/phone/TV; you are paying "fat cats". These guys weren't Robin Hood; they were a gang with intent and I really have to say only the purest of freeloaders suffers through a crappy cam recording. Honestly, there's no excuse for cam/in theater piracy at all.

PS: If you all want to stick it to the "fat cats"...then stop watching (notice I said watching) TV and movies or listening to big label music. But alas, you won't...because "I'm entitled to freeload what I want and say I'm sticking it to the man and it's his fault things are bad and I can't afford to pay for anything." rolleyes.gif

The "fat cats" are willing to give you all what you want at a price so you either pay it or you make your own entertainment.
