The leader of a pirate group has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Meanwhile, the penalties for manslaughter in most states are lower.

“The California sentencing schedule for manslaughter requires the judge to sentence a defendant to 36 months in prison unless mitigating or aggravating circumstances are present. With mitigating circumstances the sentenced is reduced to 24 months and for aggravating circumstances it is increased to 48 months.”

That corporations – and in my view completely evil ones at that – have complete control of our legislative system should be beyond the doubt of any sane person.
