Paying fines for stolen media

[whohas]

I keep hearing about all these people who download mp3's, movies, tv episodes and software without paying for them with peer to peer software (such as limewire) and I was wondering how safe they are if ever cought.

Does anybody know what will happen if they are forced to pay a fine for any stolen mp3/movies/software found on their computer and they are unable to pay due to insufficient bank funds, will they have to serve a prison sentense or will community service be enough or something?

No they won't. Why do you ask? Have you had a letter from Davenport Lyons?
