Internet Piracy Trio Sent to Jail
Three men who pirated computer software have received jail terms of between 18 months and two-and-a-half years. They were part of a network of pirates known as Drink Or Die (DOD) who cracked software protection codes, enabling it to be copied and downloaded.

The Old Bailey heard how the men, who were arrested along with around 60 others, did not make money from their activities but posed as "Robin Hoods". The judge told them their scam "struck at the heart" of the software industry. Alex Bell, 32, a former city banker, of Grays, Essex, and Steven Dowd, 42, of Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, had denied charges of conspiracy to defraud.
