Jorge Romero, a Chicago man that just happens to be 24 years old, has been charged with uploading copyrighted episodes of hit FOX show 24. Whether or not he knew it or did it, the episodes that he posted were in fact unaired as well as aimed at commercial distribution.

Since this offense was brought forth by the FBI and backed by FOX studios, Romero could do time for up to three years at a federal prison. He is in a terrible position, as he was “wise” enough to upload the first four episodes of the newest season of 24 a week before they aired on television, breaking all sorts of trade, copyright, and internet laws and regulations.

While it is hard to say anything about Romero’s innocence (Guilty!), I can say that the only person that could get him out of this mess would be Jack Bauer. Too bad that Jack is too busy saving the world.
