What types of crimes do you think about when you consider who should go to jail? Probably you'd come up with a list including thieves, rapists, drunk drivers, murderers, drive-by shooters, drug dealers, and sex offenders. The T-Shirt Murderer is the shocking true story of a man who was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for copyright infringement. Yes-that's right. Gary Matthews printed T-shirts, which he never sold, but for which he was thrown into a federal prison in Miami...in the middle of a beachfront industry printing T-shirts, tote bags, and many other souvenirs with far more flagrant breaches of copyright, and which are even shipped out of the United States. But Gary was one man without the power of a corporation behind him: a perfect man to frame as a scapegoat for white-collar crime. Educational and unsettling, The T-Shirt Murderer is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the truth about the American legal system.
