Nothing ! He never earned any money, he just helped people to share what they had, for free. In a lot of countries (Holland, Canada, etc...), it's not illegal to download copyrighted stuff if you don't make money with it. Majors make cd for 1 bucks, they sell it 20 bucks and this guy go in jail ? If he really deserved something, it should have been suspended prison. Injustice. Hello,

In fact, the Law Science intends to apply the norms in accordance with the social yearning. It's true, and notorious, that 99% of the population in earth don't have money for spending with leisure pleasures; and it's exactly what the media coerces everybody to desire - popstars, Hollywood movies, Broadway... Any single 3 years kid in Bangladesh knows who is Michael Jackson, and they don't have even money for food. The XXI Century's media created a monster: the need for something that nobody realy needs. And, if they profits rivers of money by one side, they have to hold the wave of the demand. We have the basic rights, that appeared in the French revolution (to the life, to the dignity...); after them, with the welfare state come the social rights (to the adequate wage, to a place to live...); and, by the social yearning, we have another type of rights that are intrinsics to the dignity of human being, called society rights, that includes the right to the information and culture (to the movies, to the music), the right to the environment... Based on that, our friend Scott was just fighting against a need that the proper society created. What kind of freak would be Scott if he doesn't knew Madonna??? Based on that, and certain that U.S. Constitution consecrates the rights of a democratic republic, i ask for the absolution of Scott. Thanks, and contact me for what you to need.

Scoot do something illegal, but look at yourself in the mirror for moment. think if you NEVER do something wrong, if you never act wrong, if you never download a song from internet that you not found anywhere. judge when you go home, see if your kids, if someone in your family, if a friend of yours are downloading a song from internet, are watching a movie in the PC, if they dont use illegal tools over the net. maybe they can spend sometime with Scott on the prison too, beeing molested by many of murderes and all that kind of person. think about it before send Scott to jail.

Sending (for example) 1 € or 1 $ per person might seem useless but the internet and its broadcast might turn it into a tsunami. 5it is one way of helping the poor guy) Send a message to the world as well. That is one of the main interest of internet anyhow... to link people together. I know it is a crime he has done. We are all on thoses sites. What is the use of punishing one guy? It is beheading one man on the public place to scare the entire population. History books have many examples. And it is still going today literally. Internet has educated me more that any teacher and any educational system because it is free. Imagine what societies can become if they have (full) access to information. It should not only serve 20% of the world's population but the maximum. Linking people is the basis of this system (post cold war military system at first), morality is the foundations of humanity. What are we afraid of? Are we afraid of writing a new page of history and a new society with it? And who is afraid? I have never been so in contact with music, art, news, information, people from different cultures that with internet. It is obvious, the world is going to be well managed only through a well managed network. Do not let it die out like this. You will not only send a message to scott but as well send a message to the network. The message that you want to send is : you are alone man but thanks for the information you scattered, or dont't worry scott we'll back you up! at least I hope my community would react with adequate response when the tools are available and almost free (an internet connection + cpu) when I am in the hole.

Linking people is the basis of this system (post cold war military system at first), morality is the foundations of humanity. What are we afraid of? Are we afraid of writing a new page of history and a new society with it? And who is afraid?

I have never been so in contact with music, art, news, information, people from different cultures that with internet. It is obvious, the world is going to be well managed only through a well managed network. Do not let it die out like this. You will not only send a message to scott but as well send a message to the network. The message that you want to send is : you are alone man but thanks for the information you scattered, or dont’t worry scott we’ll back you up!

at least I hope my community would react with adequate response when the tools are available and almost free (an internet connection + cpu) when I am in the hole.

Of course murder and child abuse would rank as lesser crimes than an affront to corporate power. The lawyers prosecuting this case are such tools of corporate hegemony its absurd and really could ONLY happen in America to this degree (5 years per count! thats obscene). America is so defiantly backwards it is shocking. This is what happens when a country is run by corporate intersts rather than the interests of the individual.

Drug dealers and other criminals don,t have any adverse affect on hollywood as a matter of fact they practicly cater to it. Really now does an actor or some rapper really need another 25 million dollars for one movie or album. Please !!!!!!! Who are we kidding, they are trying to set an example to simply scare the hell out of everyone else.

And I agree with Justsomeguy and Soulxlight. Why are they doing this to him and not out there catching the REAL criminals. Some how seems unfair. White Collar Crimes should not get such a sentence. Murders and and those who hurt Childern,(VIA selling drugs,etc.) Those are the ones who should be punished. You know I thinks it pretty Sad that are taking OUR internet away, and Telling us how and what we can do with it. if it was not for people like us where would the internet be. THIS IS OUR INTERNET!!!! we make it what it is.and I will be writing a letter to his Judge ask him please not to do this to him. lets pull together and see if we can help out,I mean we have all done it. Why should Scott suffer. So lets all ban together and help out... Thank you I feel for Him.

The punishment they are handing him is only because the offense is against major labels, and not just some average joe on the street without alot of money to back them up. I know people who sell drugs to youths who are back walking around in only 3 to 6 months, while this man who was lulled into uploading a copy of Star Wars is facing 5 hard years in prisons. I don't think that a crime such as this, that is committed for the first time should lead to such a sentence. If after a lighter sentence the offense is committed again, then maybe it is time for such measures... Yes I agree.

For a family man who works with disabled youth and has never even had a ticket, this punishment that he faces does not. We have people in hte uS killing, raping children, robbing banks at gunpoint and multiple offenders, that are not getting half the punishment Scott will get, which is 2 years, and 3 years monitored. The punishment they are giving him is a crime. Scott committed a crime,but the punishment should fit the crime.
