How could anyone die as a result of piracy of copyrighted material?

The example cited by the DOJ in the article is hospital equipment with buggy, pirated software. But since that is mind blowingly retarded, I suspect Gonzalez is pitching that so people like Constantine would say "ZOMG! life sentence for piracy!!" and everyone else would be extra careful to not download music to avoid dying in prison.

But yeah, prison time for pirating music for personal use is extreme.
