So... once again justice fails the real victims.

[Dreez]

A few people accused for uploading movies to a popular streamsite has been found guilty and were sentenced to jail
and fined with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is just another example of just how scewed up and corrupt the legal and justice system has become when you get
nailed to the wall when handling piracy, but if you DUI-kill, severely beat someone or rape someone, you get away with a slap on the wrist
in comparisson..

Nothing but utter failure in our society these days, and also a reason why the majority of the people i've spoken to, are pro-vigilantelaw
when it comes to punishing childmolesters, rapists and other personal attackers that in some way causes direct physical or psychological damage.

I Personally knew a person once who dealt with pirated PS-games, he was caught and fined around 100000$ and put on house arrest
including having all his computerhardware siezed.

Meanwhile i read in the newspaper of men raping a girl on a boat and they got away because the situation wasn't "threatening enough"...

I myself went to the police in my town a few years ago and said to them straight up that is my sisters kids
were molested by someone and i knew who it was, i wouldn't call the police,
i would beat the person in question half to death myself... and exact REAL justice.

This world is SICK.

I have absolutely no idea, what judicial decision you're referring to or what country or judicial system you're living in. But seeing that we're in a forum of a software developer I would suggest to stay away from this "Piracy knows no victims" nonsense.

Also, seeing how fine you are with advocating violence if you're the one being financially damaged, I'm quite happy that the concept of vigilantism is not part of the judicial systems in most modern countries. The irony isn't lost on me either.

Indeed. This is a minefield and inevitably ends up with someone stepping on a mine, i.e. justifying illegal activities, so we're not going there.
