Good Riddance as the DOJ Finally Does Its Job

Today, the US Department of Justice has announced that two more warez distributors have been jailed. David Lee Pruett, age 35 of Auburn, Washington was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and David Chen Pui, age 27 of Fountain Valley, California (just a few miles from our office) was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

I wouldn't want to publicly hope these guys take it in the same port they've been giving it to us in all these years, but let's just hope their stay isn't "comfortable." Being 1337 haxxors won't help them where they're going.

The arrests were a result of a new FBI sting called "Operation FastLink" that has extended to 12 countries with more than 120 search warrants. The operation has resulted in the impounding of hundreds of computers and the confiscation of more than $50 million USD in illegally copied games, software, movies and music. Two other individuals were also previously convicted as a result of this operation.
