There’s a zero percent chance either one of them sees the inside of a jail cell.
In a perfect world, this would happen. In reality, nope. But let’s enjoy the fantasy, for a few minutes, of wealthy shitheads having consequences.
The fantasy could be a reality if we collectively agreed that we demanded it.
The French did something about it, a few hundred years ago. Just saying.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Ok, so this IS the Daily Mail, they’re notoriously shit reporters. That said:

I would love that as much as anyone, but does anyone here seriously believe this will happen?
Five years is the maximum sentence, which a person with no prior convictions should easily be able to avoid. Even if the case was brought against a regular person, I doubt there would be jail time. Musk and Rowling can naturally afford the best lawyers, and Rowling has gone radio silent from what I heard. So, fine is easily possible, but jail time is highly unlikely.
