"The actor has pleaded guilty to one count of criminal copyright-infringement and could now face up to 16 months in prison. The government prosecutors however, are seeking three years of probation and monetary restitution. The judge has also ruled that DeSoto can appeal if given over 10 months."

Why should an unknown actor get preferencial treatment versus anybody else? Why prosecutors are seeking 3 years of probation? That's like saying you won't do time in prison if you behave for at least 3 years, but if anybody else got caught doing the same as this wannabe actor, they would be facing jail time for sure, and that's just no fair, rules and punishements should apply equaly to all, regardless if you a member of SAG or not.
