    Probably a good amount of money if they can track down all of the people that do it.

    Depends on whether the people still have any money left over. I'm going to guess that they spent it.

    Yeap it will serve as a good warning I think he deserves it. Piracy is no difference from stealing or robbing.

    Ignorance is no defense in the court of law. Also after decades of media advertising and creating awareness against piracy, to claim ignorance doesn't seem to make sense. I would understand if an 80 yo grandpa claimed ignorance, but for most of us, this should be crystal clear.
