There are laws against software piracy. For whatever reason, he chose to engage in software piracy, and I doubt it was because he needed to feed orphaned koalas. He was caught. He pled guilty. Now he's going to serve a sentence. If it weren't for the extradition aspects of this, it wouldn't be much of a story, and a four-year sentence seems fairly light.

Depriving rich people of money is worse than hurting or killing some random poor person.

What would an appropriate sentence have been? Six months? No time served? A fine? A paddlin'? Removal of a body part?

The bears.

The bonobos have other things on their minds. They're lovers and not fighters, you know.
