Quote:
On Thursday, 25-year-old Philip Danks was sentenced to 33 months in jail by a Wolverhampton judge for pirating a copy of Fast and Furious 6. Danks bragged that he was the first person in the world to seed the illicit recording, which he recorded from the back of a local cinema in May 2013. His upload was downloaded around 700,000 times.

The court also ruled that Michael Bell, the boyfriend of Danks' sister, played a part in distributing the film. He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service.
What a doofus!

Slightly heavy handed, probably down to FACT, but my first thought was good - followed by a realisation that another prison place has been taken by a rather trivial offense in the grand scheme of things...
