A Canadian man was sentenced to seven years in a U.S. prison this week after admitting he led a sophisticated satellite TV piracy ring that produced and sold thousands of hacked smart cards in the U.S. and Canada.

I love the rationialization process being applied here.

Fact is the guy committed a crime with obvious intention to profit. You can rationalize all you wish. He's going to do the time.

It does sound like he got a bit of a rough deal which means he should have spent some of the loot on better counsel.

In the post 9/11 / Bush quasi Autocracy one should be well aware that this will be likely be the norm in the US of A.

Cheers!
