Scott McCausland was the one time administrator of the Elite Torrents, until the FBI shut it down and he was convicted of piracy. After serving his jail sentence he is now free and ready to use his computer - but there is a catch.

As part of his sentence, monitoring software needs to installed on his computer. Unfortunately for McCausland the software is incompatible with his preferred Ubuntu operating system, which means he will have to install Windows instead.

There's no word as to whether he will be asked to purchase the software himself, or whether he is readying himself to take the plunge. Either way, it's a harsh rehabilitation for a Linux fan.
