Default [PCWorld] Florida Man Sentenced for Video Game Piracy
Quote:
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, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.

Through a Web site, Maswadi sold the game consoles from 2006 to 2007 in Virginia and elsewhere, the DOJ said. His profits exceeded $390,000.

See? The problem comes when you pirate and then sell/distribute.

Yeah, because it's TOTALLY ok for someone to pirate just for their own personal use, you know, because no one cares about those law-things.

$400,000 profit? He had to have sold a hell of a lot of these units to bring that kind of dough... When you deal in that kind of quantity and don't keep on the up and up then you're going to go down...

He was stupid.
