John Lamb of Llanharan (Southern Wales) was recently sentenced to three and a half years
imprisonment after pleading guilty to 30 counts of trademark and video recording offenses. He was caught with a
reported quarter of a million pounds (that's like $460,000!) worth of merchandise that he was selling on the Internet
right from his home. He'd already been arrested once on similar charges, but incidentally thought little of
it, and headed right back to his 'business'. The second time around Lamb wasn't so lucky. "This is the
longest prison sentence ELSPA has ever seen handed down to a games pirate" (Roger Bennett, ELSPA director
general).
