The federal government's Sentencing Commission recently voted to stiffen punishment for various copyright and identity theft violations. Counterfeiting and piracy on the Internet can result in a 10-month to 16-month prison sentence, regardless of whether the violator is attempting to turn a profit. The punishment for stealing electronic property, such as songs and writing samples, is calculated by multiplying the value of the item stolen by the number of people who download it. The greater the value, the longer the prison sentence, although the maximum penalty for a first-time offender is three years. Identity theft violations also carry a 10-month to 16-month sentence for first-time offenders, but the punishment will increase if a bogus identification is used to get other phony identification; those who have more than five fake IDs also face stiffer penalties. Increased penalties for copyright violations will begin on May 1, and those for identity theft will be effective on Nov. 1. (Washington Times, 5 April 2000)
