i think this should be a time of mourning for the U.S....there are murders, rapists corrupt politicians for heavens sake that spend a few months in jail for far greater crimes!!! what have brought our selfs down to?? fools that lock up men over Star Wars and let crack deals run up and down our streets without care???
truly this is a greater lose for the American law system... and its people it so pathetically tries to protect rather.....
honestly people smell the coffee, weren't the arts about the art and not the money??
as far as i remember that movie made hundreds of millions in the box office so whats the deal?? probably 85% of people who downloaded it still went to the theater with friends....and the other 15% bought the "Platinum edition" dvd for greater quality.....its a pure waste of time...

Wow what a sad sad world we live in. When a couple geeks get more time than rapist, murders, and a whole slew of violent crimes. This guy could come of the system, as hardened criminal, rob a store shoot someone and more than likely get less time.

wow... i'm not god but 10 years, seems too much... MPAA lawyers should invest their time in better things, if they can lock up some dudes for 10 years for uploading files, then they can surelely deal with real criminals

AGREEED!!!!!!!!!!!!! I admit.....punishment is in order but (excuse the language) the United States' head-up-their-ass priorities ARE OUTTA WHACK.
They took his livelihood, his servers, his money, and now his time??? ABOVE ALL ELSE...............I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PAY THE TAXES TO KEEP THIS NON-VIOLENT OFFENDER IN PRISON.
Why can't they just publicly humiliate him, or stone him or stick him on an island for 3 months in the pacific and give him time to think.

Quote:
The evidence showed that Dove recruited members who had very high-speed Internet connections, usually at least 50 times faster than a typical high-speed residential Internet connection, to become Uploaders.
So now we are guilty because we have high-speed Internet connections? Thats suxs.
Quote:
The evidence also showed that Dove operated a high-speed server, which he used to distribute pirated content to the Uploaders."
10 years in jail for sending couple files to couple other people?
Thats overkill.
