Madonna took to Instagram
late last year to urge fans not to listen to unreleased songs stolen from her
latest album Rebel Heart, which were leaked online.
"I have been violated as a human and an artist," she wrote.
"I have been violated as a human and an artist," she wrote.
Adi Lederman, who once
auditioned for Israel's top TV song competition, A Star Is Born, admitted to
hacking into the computers of people linked to Madonna and copying her records.
Madonna's representative in
Israel lodged a complaint to local authorities, prompting the investigation into
Lederman's activities.
The investigation was
coordinated with the FBI.
Lederman, a Tel Aviv
resident in his late 30s, was also fined 15,000 shekels, (£2,575).
The court said it hoped the
"appropriate" sentence would act as a deterrent to others.
The aspiring singer gained
notoriety in Israel after appearing on the reality show in 2012.
When asked by one of the
show's judges what he does for a living, he responded: "Mainly wasting my
life away, it seems, because I'm told that I should be on stage."
