Yes, you're right. But the idea is to take everything away + impose fines/penalties (but not like those $1 million per download kinds of fines). I just think that jail time seems overboard for this kind of thing. Even a fine that may take a few years to pay off is a pretty harsh punishment. But maybe it'll push our already talented pirates to do something more worthwhile and work to pay them back ?
