Re: Completely bonkers
i agree the jail part was way to far, but this is how the USA justice system works to make more money, they could of at point when they seized the items they could of contacted him (most likely police at the door) and gave him a fine and told him it was completely illegal what he was doing (just losing the $80K would of been bad enough)
what they actually got him for was trying to sell them for $25 each
the branding on the disk was another way MS could of taken legally but the judge sided with MS because of everything he had done to get the disks was testament to mass selling of counterfeit goods,
he really should of checked if it was even remotely legal to even do this before he did it sometimes not been aware that something is illegal when you really should know its going to be illegal does not get you off free (but Jail for this No that was bad call by the judge large fine yes but not the amount MS was asking for)
