Episode II Thieves Fined

Two men accused of trying to sell a stolen copy of Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones on eBay were fined $3,100 and ordered back to their native Canada, the Associated Press reported. Amer Khawaj, 21, and Inderpreet Grewal, 20, both of Etobicoke, Ontario, pleaded no contest to receiving and concealing stolen property, the wire service reported.

Wayne County Circuit Judge William Leo Cahalan sentenced the pair to a year in jail, but said that they could be released upon payment of $750 restitution in U.S. funds and $4,000 in fines in Canadian funds, Assistant Prosecutor Rebecca Tenorio told the AP. Both men paid the fines and restitution and were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol, which escorted them to the Michigan-Ontario border, the wire service reported.

I know you probably heard about the theft - but this is the punishment they got? Funny I thought it would be more, like permanent indentured servitude to LucasFilm or something.....
