18-year-old University of Arizona student, Parvin Dhaliwal was sentenced to a three month deferred jail sentence, 3 years probation, 200 hours community service, and a $5,400 fine for illegally downloading music and movies from the internet valued at $50 million dollars when he was 17.

The FBI found more than $50 million in music and movies on Dhaliwal’s computer. The illegally copied property included movies that, at the time of the theft, were available only in theaters. They included “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “Matrix Revolutions,” “The Cat In The Hat,” and “Mona Lisa Smile.”

A federal task force that monitors the Internet caught on to the student and got a warrant, Garza said, adding that Dhaliwal was copying and selling the pirated material.
