Could you briefly say what this is about? My swedish isn't that good :).
The idea is that the producers can sue the file sharers. Apparently the holder of the IP address will be held responsible - not the actual criminal. So, in short there are two BIG issues here, regardless of what you think about file sharing:
- The police is not the law enforcer any longer.
- The new enforcer does not care who did the act, they just want someone to blame.
And they're trying to do more or less a similar thing here in France...
What's wrong with the world these days ?!
I've read the article and it freaks me out big time! I bet it is not any better here in Norway...
As I understand it, the source of this madness is the EU and a directive. I.e. I can see that you get this in France - but Norway aught to be able to make their own (sensible) laws.
