...made me chuckle.
Can't say I like the guy but as a society we have learned a fair bit from making him an example thus far. With Netflix and Spotify people don't need to be downloading dodgy MP3 files and whatnot, we have moved on from that era.
Prosecuting him is a bit like if the Police came after me now for routinely riding my bike down a one-way street ten years ago when the street has been subsequently updated to have a bike lane with the on-street parking removed and a Boris bike dock added. Yes I was wrong to have broken the law but things have changed.
I think they should go fully petty on him, take all his stuff and insist that he shed a few pounds for his own health. Make the conditions of his parole dependent on him not being 'plus plus size'.
I think MegaUpload and Napster were important in getting us to where we are now, which is not the wild west it was.
