Pirate sentanced to 3 years probation
Filed in archive Government by Jordan Grodecki on September 5, 2008
A fairly prolific pirate, who supposedly uploaded over 50,000 files to an FTP based piracy site, has today been sentanced to 3 years probation, much less than the 5 years jail time that was originally proposed.

The 58 year old, Robert Hardick, operated the warez site The Boxer Rebellion with a group of others, who are currently awaiting trial, but are expected to see the same sort of sentancing.

It confuses us and Zeropaid why the government are wasting time and money going after people who are not in it for the profit? Surely that is a civil matter?
