    WASHTINGTON - Former Clintwood, Va. resident Daniel Dove, 26, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge James P. Jones for the role he played as a high-level, peer-to-peer Internet piracy group administrator, Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Friedrich announced Monday.
    Additionally, Dove was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and fined $20,000.

    Dove was found guilty of conspiracy and felony copyright infringement by a jury back in June of this year for maintaining the P2P site EliteTorrents.org.

    Dove's conviction is the eighth resulting from Operation D-Elite, a federal crackdown against the illegal distribution of copyrighted movies, software, games and music over P2P networks employing the BitTorrent file distribution technology.

      You'd think it would stop, but with the way things work in other crimes, I'd have to say
      there will be a new person who will try it again.

      People being busted for doing this is nothing new.
      The only thing new was it was on the internet.

      People think "It's so easy so it must be legal".
      They fail to realize that most crimes are easy to commit, it's getting away
      with it that get's hard.
