Good for you.
Surely you recognize that it isn't a crime in which someone is harmed directly, right? You're not actually taking anything from anyone.
Surely you realize that there are plenty of cases where people pirate to try something out and buy later, right?
Surely you realize that there are plenty of cases where people grow up, get more income, and turn into purchasers after discovering something through free downloads, previously, right?
Do you realize how absurd it will be if someone goes to jail over downloading some music or a video? Do you really think these people are unfit for society and should have their lives destroyed for a few years while taxpayers pay for them to be locked away?
You make a song and distribute it. You make one sale and the file goes on the Internet and is promptly pirated by half your fan base. You didn't lose income? This didn't harm anyone? You can't be serious.
It isn't absurd at all. To stop crimes there must be punishment. So stop pirating. It's pretty simple.
No. However that's the maximum so who knows what petty offenders will get.2 years for downloading an mp3? Does that seem fair to you?
