Jail-time for movie pirate
Chan Nai-ming, or "Big Crook" as he likes to call himself, was using BitTorrent, a well-known file-sharing program, when he was arrested.
According to the Motion Pictures Association of America, approximately $900 million is lost each year in Asia to piracy of this kind, and Hong Kong officials hope his sentence will serve as a deterrent to others.
