Man Sent to Jail for Pirating ‘The Love Guru’

A man named Jack Yates has been sentenced to 6 months in prison for pirating ‘The Love Guru’. How bad is this guy going to “get it” in prison? Hopefully most of the prisoners have been in so long so they haven’t had a chance to see what a shitter this movie was. Check this out:

When confronted, Yates accused co-workers and Paramount employees of putting the contraband copy on the Internet. But videotaped footage showed Yates making the unauthorized copy of “The Love Guru” at work before leaving the building and then going into his car, Assistant U.S. Attorney Erik M. Silber said. Yates subsequently blamed his grandmother, saying that he showed the movie at her birthday party and she then gave it away to a cousin who gave it to a friend who was the former roommate of the man who is believed to have uploaded the movie, but has not yet been charged. In his plea agreement, Yates confessed to making a copy of the comedy and later distributing it to others.

We don’t condone pirating around here, however if you ARE going to pirate movies, do it for films that would be worth getting busted over! You are going to need all the respect you can get in prison and if you go down for pirating ‘From Justin to Kelly’ then consider yourself already someone’s… umm… personal “ass”istant.

I guess it could be worse, he could have been busted for pirating gay porn…now that I think about it I don’t think even that is worse. Good luck Jack Yates!
