The DVD-copying beyond absurd, but 4 years for sex with a minor ? And that's considered the same gravity as throwing poo @ a prison guard ? Of course, since $$ is a big factor in law-making these days, it would not surprise me if there was a lot of lobbying on Hollywood's part factoring in here.

The irony is, only the people who actually purchase the DVD see that security warning in the beginning. If you get your copies "illegally" you never have to see it. I copy mine before I watch them just to avoid all of that "nonsense". Nice, I’d have to kidnap and rape 23 people to get the same amount of time as if the FBI busted down my door today.

It seems impossible to justify any time in prison for copying a DVD when you can actually desert your child and only get a single year in prison. Classic.
