European Piracy Crackdowns
DigitumDei writes "The British
Phonographic Industry has been busy over the last half year. Their recent success which netted them £50,000 in out of court settlements is certainly not going to be the end of it with the UK courts forcing 6 ISP's to release information on a further 31 file sharers. The ISPs have 14 days to comply. And once located will be offered the opporunity to settle out of court. 'We would particularly advise parents to check what their children are doing on the internet and make sure that they are not breaking the law by filesharing illegally,' said Geoff Taylor, BPI General Counsel." And in other news, the oldest and largest ISP in Sweden, Bahnnof was the subject of a raid that netted what looks to be the biggest results in Europe ever; as well papper writes "The Swedish organization Antipiratbyrån, which has nothing to do with Swedish goverment, recently got hacked. This was both revenge for and an attempt to stop similair raids like the one who took place this friday, against the ISP Banhof. During the raid several FTP-servers were seized. On the hacked site the responsible group, AUH, posts some private e-mails about an alleged informer and makes threats to release more information and of course there is the mandatory braging. The site is located at Antripiratbyran with a mirror elsewhere and a translated verison also online (although it seems unreachable at the moment). "
oh thats just mean dude, I typed that whilst talking to a client in the phone (yeah im @ work now) aswell trying to rush it even further just trying to get on the first post :) But lucky for you I didn't do it in swedish?
Cant blame me eyy?
well, if the parents are already breaking the law, why do expect the children to be any better?
You're wrong about the prostitution law in Sweden. It's illegal to buy sex while it's not illegal to sell sex. The reasoning is that the prositutes are concidered to be victims.
In Soviet Russia, the profit overlords welcome you!
Swedish grammar is hard to learn because of the lack of rules. What few rules there are have been compromised by the irregularities outnumbering the regularities. I studied grammar at the university last year. It was funny how none of the rules essentially stood for testing. As long as you could quote a source for your interpretation of a rule, the teachers would let any analysis pass.
Sweden is a democracy, and we have freedom of speech.
No you don't. Just try saying "I hate niggers and fags."
Oh please! Stop trying to wrap your want of free shit around some noble humanitarian cause.
If you break the law and get caught, why should you not face the music?

Actually, you're perfectly allowed to state your opinion like that.
What you aren't allowed to do is to claim things like "fags love to fuck children and niggers are criminals" as if it was a fact. You're also not allowed to agitate and tell others to harass minority groups.
