    I hate that this fucker is becoming some hero who is wrongly prosecuted. Sure, the copyright infringement charges are utter bullshit. But the guy himself is a complete asshole and has been all his adult life. He sold out his buddies to the police, worked for an infamous lawyer sending out copyright infringement notices (!) and has been sentenced for fraud multiple times. He’s a cunt and I hope he rots in prison.
