I rarely see a judge use any discretion in the cases I see on the news...well, except when they want to present the story as a "shocking" case of an inept Judge.
Plus they change the damn definitions of stuff too. When they are arresting 21 year old guys for having sex with their 16 year old girlfriends and calling it the same thing as a guy raping a baby, it gets hard to differentiate.
Anyway...I think the guy got what was coming to him in this case. And probably had a good lawyer to get off as light as he did. He outright STOLE that film and tried to damage the studio by releasing it for free.

I am not talking about some 20 something year old guy fucking teenage girls but middle aged men and young boys but regardless the main problem with these kinds of cases is the prosecution making deals if they plead guilty, resulting in them serving much less time than they should but yes like others have said it really has nothing to do with this case but its just a sad reality that has bothered me for a lifetime that property crimes often seem to carry a harsher sentence than crimes against people. and like i said in an earlier post, if the guy actually physically stole it or hacked into whatever and stole it, then sure the punishment seems reasonable. however if he just downloaded it from somwhere else and then uploaded, its retarded and just another example of the justice system working only for those with money.
