Retro pirate gets two-year suspended jail sentence for being stuck in the past, burning and selling remix CDs of famous artists — four-year investigation into copyright infringement on 40-year-old medium began in 2018
A man in the UK has received a two-year suspended jail sentence for illegally burning and selling remix CDs of popular artists. Marc Kearns was also ordered to complete 250 hours of community service after pleading guilty to copyright infringement charges. The investigation into his activities began in 2018, with authorities executing a warrant in 2022, and the case recently concluded at Hull Crown Court. Officials hope the sentencing will deter others from similar illegal music distribution. AI
