UK government proposes landing pirates for up to 10 years

The UK government has asked the parliament to provide new powers that will tighten the punishment for copyright violators in the form of imprisonment for up to ten years, according to thenextweb .

And then network piracy, according to the severity of punishment, will stand on a par with such crimes as “possession of a firearm or ammunition with the intention of endangering the life of another person”, “using poison to endanger the life of a person” and similar offenses.

Perhaps the maximum period will threaten only administrators of pirated resources and active distributors of pirated content. From the point of view of copyright holders, the current sentence in the UK in the form of imprisonment for up to two years is not severe enough to stop massive copyright infringements. Although it has long been known that longer prison sentences do not deter criminals from wrongdoing.
