I don't like Taylor, but I wouldn't want those who bought copies to go to jail after uploading them. I think it'd be easier to track them down via IP address and if there's only 2 people who haven't turned in the copies. What difference would it make if this is coming out in 3 weeks. They could have just waited. It's so not worth it. And for her?

FREE THE MAN

selling them for that cheap indicates to me that this guy was not exactly a criminal mastermind and I wouldn't hold my breath for whoever has those two remaining copies to be taking advantage of it, but who knows

Like imagine going to prison for this?

"So what are you in for?"
"I stole and sold 10 copies of a Taylor Swift CD. you?"
"Oh, I set my neighbors pet dog on fire. I got 6 months. How long did you get?"
"Uh... 8 months... The fuck?"

8 months over something worth a few weeks of community service at most? Man, I do not get law and justice at all.
