CHINESE MOVIE PIRATE SENTENCED TO LIFE
In what may be the stiffest penalty yet for movie piracy, a man in China was sentenced to life imprisonment for reportedly operating the country's biggest bootleg DVD ring. The state-operated Xinhua news agency said that the man, Lin Yuehua, and 11 associates were convicted of producing 30 million bootleg DVDs and VCDs in an unnamed foreign country and smuggling them into China between 2002 and 2005. They were said to be worth $23.9 million.

How much does it suck to be that guy? I didn't really know that China was cracking down so hard on movie piracy, but I guess so. That's a serious amount of money though. Damn. Why do people buy bootlegs anyway they are always such crapy quality. I don't get it.
