Well, if you really didn't commit the financial crime for monetary gain then what was it for ? Just trolling the copyright industry ? There needs to be a deeper look at the situation in this case because the law being discussed right now is really about pirates making money off being pirates.

How is losing all your booty not a big enough deterrent ?

Edit: Also, I'd like to make a distinction here between copyright infringement and financial fraud. I don't think it's been proven yet that people are losing jobs and companies are becoming bankrupt because of large scale copyright infringement. That isn't the same as financial fraud. Personally, I'd like my tax dollars to go first to a jail that houses someone that poses immediate physical danger to me or someone else. Then a list of other things. And finally to those 'dangerous' young'uns from the pirate bay. They're pretty far down the list of evil doers.
