    A 37-year-old Tennessee man was arrested Thursday, accused of stealing Blu-rays and DVDs from a manufacturing and distribution company used by major movie studios and sharing them online before the movies’ scheduled release dates.

    He also supposedly sold the actual stolen discs on e-commerce sites, the DOJ alleged.

    Little bit more than your casual pirate. That said, up to 15 years is absolutely an overreaction.
