Jail time already is a thing for piracy. Seriously investigate the history of TPB if you dont already known it, or refresh your memory of it if you do

Have you ever pirated something? If so, have you ever been sent to jail for it?

I'm not talking about hosting companies. Yes, I am aware that prosecution exists for them and has been a thing a long time. I'm saying they're going to start pushing for end users to face jail time as well. It's the only real recourse they have.
