Software Pirate Gets 7 Years This Time
Monday, September 11, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
I told you a few weeks ago about a man who received 6 years for pirating software.
Now another man has been given a record sentence of 7 years for selling pirated software on his website. He was also ordered to pay over 5.4 million dollars in restitution.
"Nathan Peterson, 27, of Los Angeles, sold copyrighted software at a huge discount on his site, iBackups.net, prosecutors said. The FBI began investigating the site in 2003 and shut it down in February 2005"
