Police Raid Home of 9-Year-Old Pirate Bay User, Seize "Winnie the Pooh" Laptop
zacharye writes "Copyright enforcement might be getting out of hand in Scandinavia. As anti-piracy groups and copyright owners continue to work with authorities to curtail piracy in the region, police this week raided the home of a 9-year-old suspect and confiscated her "Winnie the Pooh" laptop. TorrentFreak reports that the girl's home was raided after local anti-piracy group CIAPC determined copyrighted files had been downloaded illegally at her residence. Her father, the Internet service account holder, was contacted by CIAPC, which demanded that he pay a 600 euro fine and sign a non-disclosure agreement to settle the matter. When the man did not comply, authorities raided his home and collected evidence, including his 9-year-old daughter's notebook computer."
This artist is about to get global fame beyond her wildest hopes. Literally. Her name is all over the news and the blogs internationally. People have started their tirades on her facebook wall. One Reddit thread has 3000 balance of up/down votes and 2000 comments and will be trending for a week. It's a shame she was never represented by these copyright trolls in the first place, or she would deserve it. Maybe she should sue the trolls? Defamation of character or something?
Help stamp out iliturcy.
