Dismissing something just because it's digital is pretty stupid.
I think the sentence is very extreme but there are a LOT of crimes and maybe serious ones that can be summed up to "did stuff with ones and zeros".
While that's true, this ain't really one of them. I don't really support for profit piracy, but when juxtaposed against negligently taking a life, it's insane to see the disparity between the punishments.
