Feds Convict Warez Dealer 560
XaviorPenguin writes "News.com.com.com has a story that says the DoJ has '...landed its first conviction against an American defendant trapped via Operation Fastlink, a multinational law enforcement effort undertaken against online software piracy. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa said that Jathan Desir, 26, of Iowa City, has pleaded guilty to charges related to his role in a criminal enterprise that distributed pirated software, games, movies and music over the Internet.' Desir is the first conviction that Operation Fastlink has done. He will possibly serve up to 15 years in prison when his sentencing is in March 18, 2005.

Can't let such a good opportunity to be wasted. After all, an article like this will bring in hundreds of outraged posts complaining about how infringing on other peoples' copyright should be OK and how the feds are oppressing us.
Kudos to Taco for having a good business sense.
