Internet crime and piracy pay but not worth the risk Courtesy of http://www.geercom.com.
Welcome!
Internet crimes and song and movie piracy do pay, but they're not worth the risk of being caught.
This is all not to mention the fact that decent people wouldn't do it, but before he got caught, the man who pirated the Simpsons movie and shared the file on the Internet and very likely sold or enabled others to sell DVD copies probably made a few bucks.
Arrested recently in Sydney Australia, the unnamed suspect made the original copy using his cell phone. The file was uploaded, downloaded thousands of times and is estimated to have sold DVD copies worldwide, all illegally.
The man was apprehended through the combined efforts of Australian police, private eyes and the News Corp Twentieth Century Fox movie studio company.
Best Regards,
