Probably a fine and/or jail - if he is in a jurisdiction where he can be prosecuted.

The whole internet piracy thing is a joke - and to be brutally honest - its the fault of the Movie and record industry for not keeping up with the technology to begin with.

When you can get immediate access to anything why should you have to wait 6 months or so to see a movie in Europe that has already been and gone in the US?

Only now can you get DVDs that give you a free digital copy of the film - and with the popularity of digital video devices that's really stupid. Plus the fact that the studios insist on distributing content on sites like iTunes that force you to buy Apple hardware in order to use it.

Probably a fine would be most appropriate. But then again, look what happened to tv-links.co.uk. The owner was initially arrested, and the site was forced to shut down. However, after the hysteria from the recording industry died down, It suddely occured that it's not illegal to provide links to another site that has illegally hosted copywritten material. No charges have been filed.

They have just started a trial in sweden against thepiratebay.org. Should be interesting to see how this one pans out.

I would feel more compassion for the MPAA, if they weren't a group of heartless, money grubbing douchebags out to squeeze every penny they can

The record and movie industries are hardly "victims". They've been screwing over the paying public for years.

I was doing some reading up on thepiratebay.org website you mentioned and came across this - In September 2008, the Swedish media reported that the public preliminary investigation protocols concerning a child murder case known as the Arboga case had been made available through a torrent on The Pirate Bay. In Sweden, preliminary investigations become publicly available the moment a lawsuit is filed and can be ordered from the court by any individual. The document included pictures from the autopsy of the two murdered children, which caused their father Nicklas Jangestig to urge the website to have the pictures removed.[34] The Pirate Bay refused to remove the torrent.

This is just wrong, Im going to stay tuned to this to and see what happens and hopefully they get closed down. I wonder why sweeden has thes laws
