If you think doing five months of hard time in the slammer for uploading a feature film to the internet is tough, try using Windows for nearly half a year when your heart belongs to Linux. Unfortunately, this heartbreaking scenario is indeed true, as the “ex-administrator of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent tracker” is now being forced to use an operating system in which the US government can install monitoring software on. According to Sk0t, who has served his jail time and is now sitting through five months of home confinement, he believes that the government “should have software that conforms to [him],” especially considering how expensive it would be to replace all of one’s software… sans a job. Of course, his alternative seems to be just living out the sentence without using a PC at all, but c’mon, we all know that ain’t happening.
