Screwy Justice System, I'm glad I'm not American.

These items were all reported the same day on one of the studio news items I read.

A man was sentenced to 7 years in prison for camcording a movie in a theatre. Seems a bit extreme, it wasn't even a hit movie. it was The Core.

A man who bilked at least 70 investors out of millions of dollars for a non-existent TV show was given a sentence of one year and a day. The judge in this case deserves to have his money bilked by some other phony scheme so he knows what it feels like.

There was also a story about a man who had sold thousands of copies of pirated DVDs and also got about a year.

Does all this seem a little inequitable to you?
