Copyright Infringement Punishment = Banned From Using Linux

08.24.07 | No Comments

It’s truly awe-inspiring to read punishments like this for copyright infringement. The guy who leaked the last Star Wars movie to the web a week before it hit theaters ended up with a 5 month jail sentence and another 5 months of home confinement - during which he’ll have to install tracking software on his computer. Since he’s a Linux guy and the government doesn’t have tracking software for Linux, they’re forcing him to switch to Windows for the duration… He should have hired Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer.
