Three Years Prison and $250,000 Fine

"Hulk" Pirate faces Three Years Prison and $250,000 Fine


Kerry Gonzalez of Hamilton, New Jersey has pleaded guilty to pirating an advance "work print" of Universal's new movie "Hulk". Gonzalez obtained a copy of the movie from a friend working for an advertising company attached to the new movie.

Gonzalez then copied the movie to his home computer and removed embedded protections before distributing copies in a Internet chat room dedicated to bootleg movie trading.

Gonzalez now faces a maximum of three years jail, and up to $250,000 in fines at his September 26th sentencing hearing. The charges were laid after Gonzalez was identified by the FBI?s Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Squad.

OUCH!!
his friend must have turned him in
