To quote 'The Inquirer' and their take on it:
' ' Although sentencing varies in the US, the new law does send a very strange message as to what the government considers 'bad' in the 21st century.
' ' For example assaulting a police officer will get you five years, downloading child p0rn will get you seven years, assaulting without a weapon will get you ten years and aggravated assault six years.
' ' So in other words if you copy a Disney CD and sell it you will be in the same league as a paedophile who is distributing pictures of sexual attacks on children.
' ' If you copy Craig David's CD you get ten years, but if you punch him in the face and pummel him into a seven day coma you will only get six. You are more likely to get the respect of the prison population with your six year sentence as well.
That's a pretty warped set of values IMHO.
Edit: Fix formatting and this BBS deciding that 'p0rn' is a "I need to watch my language" word.
