A software pirate has been jailed for seven years and three months by a US
court.
Nathan Peterson, 27, of Los Angeles, was also ordered to pay $5.4m (£2.89m)
and will be stripped of assets including luxury items such as property, cars and
a boat.
Peterson amassed the fortune by selling illegally copied products from
companies such as
Adobe and
Microsoft
on his iBackups.net website.
The online trader had already pleaded guilty to copyright infringement at a
hearing in December 2005 in the
District
Court in Alexandria, Virginia.
The
US
Department of Justice described the case as one of the largest it had ever
dealt with concerning internet software piracy.
