        Fails to mention he also was selling the discs online.

        But they want to sentence him for 15 years for this, even though his actions likely saved lives during the height of COVID if the allegations are true; if they aren’t true, he harmed nobody because those 10 million people wouldn’t have seen the movies in theaters anyway.

            Yes let's not go after the south African literally fomenting the rise of a fashist takovet. Let's go after the guy selling bootleg DVDs.

                  15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.

                    I knew they were going to start cracking down on piracy. They'll use it as an excuse to make vpns illegal.

                        Weirdly enough, DVDs are still by far the most popular physical format.

                          Just goes to show how horrendous this sort of crime is. I hear dvd pirates are on the same cell blocks as pedophiles in prison.

                            What? Really? I would have thought dvd pirates would have far worse conditions than pedophiles.

                                Plot twist. It was 1 zippo lighter, but it was a comically large one. It just weighs 20 lbs.

                                  I still buy them, but I prefer when it's a dvd/blueray/3D (if available) combo pack.

                                    How "Les Misérables" of them. Jean Valjean got 19 years for stealing bread. 15 years is light in comparison.

                                        Soon it became dangerous to download the movie, though, as popular demand for the movie quickly put a target on downloaders' backs and scammers soon planted malware in Spider-Man movie torrents that ReasonLabs reported used the movie to "lure in as many victims as possible."

                                        ReasonLabs said that the malware was "likely from a Russian torrenting site." It took over the would-be Spider-Man movie watchers' computers without setting off Windows Defender and with the goal of cryptomining in the background for the bad actors' benefit.

                                          Some players might have vulnerabilities that people exploit; but honestly it's very rare, especially with most people auto updating their programs.

                                          Most of the time it is indeed "download spider man no virus no survey 2023 free download.exe"
