Man Gets Year in Prison for Uploading a Movie

Diposting oleh fawaid on Selasa, 20 Desember 2011

Piracy laws in the United States are completely absurd. It's the perfect example of everything that's wrong with this government. Those who can afford lobbyists and huge, anonymous campaign contributions get whatever legislation they want.

Gilberto Sanchez uploaded X-Men Origins: Wolverine online. However, he did draw attention to himself by uploading the video an entire month before the theater release of the actual movie. He bought the leaked copy from a street vendor in the Bronx, and then uploaded it for everyone to see.

It probably wasn't a bright idea to upload an unreleased movie, but it seems the real criminal here is the one who leaked the pre-production copy of the movie. That, or the street vendor who made a profit off of it. But certainly not the one who made it available for free. Sending a man to prison for an entire year over a single movie? That's absurd. Anti-piracy laws are only going to get worse in this country, proving that it takes money to influence law.
