Its a fair sentence I think. The max is way too high. Home confinement does allow having a job and stuff. I wonder what Scott McCausland will get? Probably something similar. I got my Star Wars over a month before its theater release, from Emule!! ElliteTorrents is like, uh nothing more than a large community sharing files. Oh yeah, the Federal Bureau of Prisons will often rent a bunk in local county jail for inmates sentenced for less than 1 year.
