Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users
faaaz writes "The danish anti-piracy organisation Antipiratgruppen has billed approximately 150 p2p users an amount of up to $14,000 each for sharing copyrighted material. The organisation says 'Pay up, or we'll sue!'" There's also a Reuters article.

Maybe it would be a good idea for them to sell the content they've downloaded on eBay to raise funds for paying the bills or hiring a lawyer... Yeah, I'm sure that'd solve all their problems.

BTW, have we started kicking Iraqi ass yet? Gas prices are way high, here. They need to start coming down soon. I'm itching for a cross-country road trip in my new H2. It'll be sweet when we own all that oil. 10 cents a freakin' gallon, man.

No, you haven't understood. The law does not agree with you. When you STEAL something you have 100% take deprive someone of thing. When you copy an mp3 you have deprive them of NOTHING. Because they person might NOT have bought it.
That is why it is considered theft.
Its only considered theft by those of low IQ.(or low moral)
That's why it's not only illegal, but immoral.
It seems the immoral part is keeping wanting payment for the same job over and over...
