United States Attorney Scott N. Schools announced that the final two of three defendants engaged in large-scale replication of pirated and counterfeit CDs and DVDs were sentenced today in Operation Remaster.

Kevin He, 32, both of Union City, California, each to 37 months of prison, a three-year term of supervised release, a $125,000 fine, and a $500 mandatory special assessment.

Re: Defendants in Largest Ever U.S. Disc Piracy Case Sentenced

I imagine these guys made far more money than what they were fined. This is still a drop in the bucket, however (compared to the billions IFPI/RIAA/MPAA say are lost).

They probably still think it was worth it ...

And now, by sentencing them to a detention centre, they can be introduced to the mafia & really enhance their pirate operation, and expand to a world wide operation

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
