Man arrested for Pokemon Images

Regardless of what it was, I do think arresting him was a bit much when a fine could have done the trick, I understand WHY it happened. I mean if someone leaked something like that I can understand from a business stand point how it can essentially hurt the business or even impact sales depending on the situation (I'm being fairly general here).

What I don't understand is that this is not the first time this has happened that I can remember...yet this fellow is getting quite the stick. Seems a tad unfair from my perspective...I am all for copyrights and such...but to serve years of your life in prison for this is a tad ludicrous.
