lets not pretend and be self rightious - how many of you lads havent watched internet streams - or bought dvds from a del boy trotter - i havent because i dont use the net much - but i bet you nerds have -

I'm not being self righteous, just calling him fucking stupid for doing something I know would get me caught.

seems harsh tho and the jails are supposed to be full, 40-50k per year to keep someone in clink, that's a bigger sentence than carrying a knife to drink drive to a burglary and accidentally run someone over. community service and asset stripping would've done it

I hope nothing sexual hapoens to him in the showers. Because if it does, he'll have Ginge suing him for copyright too.

I bought a copy of Nutty Professor II The Klumps from him so will be on his mailing list.
What kind of sentence will I be looking at do you think?

He is in jail now. Yes. He broke the law and he has to pay the price. Not sure what punishment, if any, could be meted out to those who bought dvds from him.

To be made to watch the film again daily for a year.

Out of court settlements to BSkyB to avoid court action, more than likely.

They would have to prove that they knew the DVDs were counterfeit and that they were aware that Gooner was not a licensed distributor, my guess is at the very most they will get a letter requesting that they either return or destroy the items bought.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can gather, being in possession of counterfeit CDs/DVDs isn't illegal, nor is buying counterfeit CDs/DVDs (even knowingly so), at least in the UK. In regards to possession and buying, the law here urges people not to buy counterfeit goods, talks of the risk of being defrauded, lower quality goods, to think of the morality of aiding a seller engaged in criminal behaviour, possibly aiding bigger wider crimes etc.

As far as I understand, what is illegal in in the UK in regards to counterfeit goods are what the law regards as "causing loss to the copyright holder", so that's selling them for a profit, uploading them to the internet, or showing them in public. I'd be surprised if anyone can show a British case where somebody has been charged with an offence in regards to possession of counterfeit goods or buying counterfeit goods, unless that person was also selling those goods or uploading them onto something like youtube.
