They'll get under ten years. The kid who downloaded 32 songs, he'll have a fine of $400,000.00. Yup, sensible sentencing in the entertainment business.
Livent duo to be sentenced on Wednesday

Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb are unlikely to spend more than a few hours in custody even if they are sentenced to a prison term Wednesday by Ontario Superior Court Justice Mary Lou Benotto.
The Crown is seeking eight to 10 years in prison for the founders of Livent Inc., after they were convicted of orchestrating an accounting fraud scheme at the theatre company for several years.
Drabinsky and Gottlieb are asking for conditional sentences or house arrest, with community service that would include lectures at business and theatre schools across the country.
The legal precedents suggest a term much closer to what the prosecution is seeking is the more likely result when Judge Benotto hands down her sentence.
But the former theatre executives are almost certain to be granted bail the same day, after a hearing before a judge of the Ontario Court of Appeal, pending an appeal of the verdict and the sentence.
White collar criminals are generally granted bail in Canada while they appeal, unlike the United States for example, where Conrad Black remains in jail as he waits for the Supreme Court to hear an appeal in his case.
