/"A guy who uploaded the latest Star Wars movie got arrested, pleaded 
guilty to 'conspiracy to commit copyright infringement' and 'criminal 
copyright infringement' and got jail and home confinement. As part of 
his home confinement, he agreed to install some tracking software on his 
computer. The problem is He's an Ubuntu Linux user and the gov't doesn't 
have any tracking software for Linux. So he's been told that he must use 
Windows for the term of his confinement
