I expect that the Gov’t of Aland put up no defense. Simply capitulated and pled guilty. So the court did what it would normally do in those circumstances and issued a guilty verdict. This is not a true test, which will only occur in a properly contested case.

Hope that other governments take the same view and start cutting more people off from the wretched Internet.

If P2P isn’t controlled, the major labels will just diversify and go and sell soap powder or cat food instead; it’s the real musicians that are getting hit the worst by file sharing. What about our human rights?

If people can not use internet in an ethic way they should not be allowed to use it.

Only greedy people thinks it’s ok to take whatever thewy want without paying for it.

[...] Em consequÃªncia, o paÃs acaba de registar o primeiro caso de desligamento do acesso Ã Internet no continente europeu. O caricato da situaÃ§Ã£o Ã© que o visado foi o prÃ³prio governo da regiÃ£o autÃ³noma de Ã‚land, um conjunto de ilhas cedidas pela SuÃ©cia Ã FinlÃ¢ndia no inÃcio do sÃ©culo XIX. Tudo porque um funcionÃ¡rio da administraÃ§Ã£o foi apanhado a usar a ligaÃ§Ã£o para descarregar mÃºsica, de acordo com o Piraattiliitto (via TorrentFreak). [...]
