The owner of Sarge’s Comics in New London, Conn., was sentenced to six months of home confinement and two years of probation for making and selling pirated DVDs.

Robert P. Miller, who pleaded guilty in August 2007 to one count of copyright infringement, also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $9,575 to the Motion Picture Association of America and other parties, and perform 100 hours of community service.

When agents raided Miller’s store in June 2005, they reportedly recovered 778 DVDs and CDs containing pirated works, as well as a CD/DVD burner. He admitted to making copies of movies and television shows to sell to his customers.
