15 months in jail for porn and videogames

     pron

A Bristol man has won himself fifteen months of prison for a stockpile of pirated videogames, movies and delicious pornography. 51-year-old Gary Boulter of Thornbury was found guilty of running a copying "factory" in his home.

Trading standards received a tip-off about Boulter's activities, and he has admitted to possessing illegal media worth more than £50,000 in total. He has been found guilty of 23 offenses committed from a room in his house that was given over to the copying of the material, which he then sold to his friends. 

Boulter claims that the copying of games and movies was a "hobby" and that he never charged for his dodgy discs. With 2,300 game and film copies in his house, along with 500 blank DVD-Rs, that's quite the expensive non-profit hobby. Should have stuck to Warhammer

In other news, if anybody wants some cheap copies of Spunks-A-Lordy II: The Slaggiest Muff Festival in Croydon, I can sort you out.

Sounds like he needs a new hobby. I'm sure he'll discover all sorts of new illegal activities while behind bars.

"Delicious pornography" is one horrifying phrase.

I don't get it. Why would anyone pay him for a copy? Aren't there any good internet connections in Bristol?

When you said jailed for porn I was worried they had finally tried to charge someone under that mad law criminalising 'extreme pornography' BBC Story

Thankfully it's just another idiot who tried to make his fortune through piracy.

I read this, then saw this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7585431.stm (BBC: Crowding hits jail's performance).

They could have made him hand over 75% of all profits, and the copyright owners would still make some money. Now his customers are in the wind, and no doubt ready to give £50k to a different (harder to track) pirate.
