Granted, it was wrong, and yes, he is a criminal, but thats a long tim to rot in a cell for pirating some games. That judge probably got a decent chunk of change for that sentance to be handed down.
It's not just the downloading. He made $500,000 from doing it. If someone stole $500,000 how long do you think they'd be in for? I'd say close to 4 years. Down here, the Proceeds of Crime laws means he'd lose everything he couldn't prove he paid 100% legal money for, too.
