Is that really what happened? That is so dumb. I'm guessing that user then got tracked if her team is always on the web, and authorities tracked 8 out of the 10.

Reminds me of the time that a record store was selling Britney's "Glory" album a week or two before the release date, but no one was sentenced to prison. The person who bought it even record clips of the store playing the album weeks before the release for customers to listen to the album before it came out and leaked.

Who snitched? And why Taylor Swift albums?

That is a ridiculous amount of time for stealing something so worthless.

Seems excessive
