    “The most recent reported conviction saw a 37-year-old man receive a 60-day suspended prison sentence in September for pirating more than a thousand works through local BitTorrent trackers.” Woaaah now, calm down there, killas. A hand can only be slapped so hard. Why even bother convicting at this point if one can pirate thousands of things and get a sentence like this? Surely they must realize how little of a deal it really is?
