To the Slammer!

The U.S. Attorney for W.D. VA announced that one of the prime movers of the Elite Torrents website, which sytematically pirated all kinds of IP, is going to jail.

At its prime, the Elite Torrents network attracted more than 133,000 members and facilitated the illegal distribution of more than 2 million copies of movies, software, music, and games.
Good. Undermining the economic basis for the production of content is indeed an act of moral turpitude.
