Internet Pirate Sentenced to Prison Time

[MinnesotaKid]

A little food for thought:

A 24-year-old member of DrinkOrDie, one of the oldest international piracy groups on the Internet, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for conspiring to violate criminal copyright laws. Operation Buccaneer also netted members of other online piracy groups, including RiSC, RAZOR1911, RiSCISO, and POPZ. To date, 13 people have pleaded guilty to charges in connection with Operation Buccaneer; 10 have already been sentenced. Federal prosecutors said DrinkOrDie consisted of approximately 65 members from more than a dozen countries including England, Australia, Sweden, Norway, and Finland

This is *bad* - look at the list of busted members; all well-known warmhearted pioneers in the field. I hope it's not unlegal to express symphaty for theese beloved members of a beloved group.
Do they have any support-team outside the walls that can make their time there less painful?

BTW if your reading this Big-Brother we are all just kidding we as a group denounce illegal activities such as these evil groups engaged in.
Fellow members please proceed with the kidding.
