The UK government plans to quintuple the maximum prison sentence for online pirates — from two to 10 years.

 

Britain's Intellectual Property Office has published the results of a consultation launched last year into increasing the possible penalties facing people who engage in online copyright infringement. The vast majority of respondents — around 98% — opposed an increase, but the UK Government is pushing ahead anyway.
