He is a theif pure and simple and anyone that feels sorry for him is probibally the receiver of stolen goods.
Richie, perhaps you also need to learn to spell before you use a computer.

@Richie....

How is this a sad day for us? This particular individual is not some modern day Robin Hood Crusading for the masses or anything.....he probably made millions by stealing other people's work. The loss from his piracy is passed along to teh end users who don't buy pirated software.

The only sad part is that his sentence wasn't a bullet in teh brain.

Well all i can say is that its a sad sad day for us!

All of us! But his 4 years would not have been in vain! This would incourage other crusaders to take up the mantle i hope!

Lord knows how we miss aXXo already...

Makes targeting grannies downloading MP3s seem just mildly trivial. . . sad fact they would have the same length of trial in some circumstances
