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. I expect that the Gov’t of Aland put up no defense. Simply capitulated and pled guilty.

P2P and the "free music culture" is putting independent musicians and small record companies out of business every day. I know because that's what I did before I was forced to give it all up. 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? Hope that other governments take the same view and start cutting more people off from the wretched Internet.

If there's some commercial software/music/movie I want, I make sure I don't give my money to some big corporation with an agressive anti-piracy agenda (because I don't want to support that crap). There are lots of alternatives to mainstream entertainment where the artist/creator actually get a piece of the money :) This is what I do:

Some of the law writers actually profited from the law so it was dirty as hell. Very good example of todays copyright corruption. Did it work in any way? No, more and more culture are being shared every day and especially youngster don't have any respect for these corrupted assholes. Disconnection part was indeed hidden in the law and when it was criticized the government told that the law couldn't be used for disconnecting file sharers. Another lie as we can see. What wasn't covered here in Torrentfreak is that the disconnection isn't permanent so it really isn't such a good weapon. CIAPC has been begging for the operators to do something but that really doest work. The disconnection can only be used in critical cases so this doesn't really effect the common pirates, what ever that means. In special cases the disconnection will be carried out without informing the plain fit but the hearing must be held immediately. Temporary disconnection, temporary. Am I worried as a Finn? Hell no. It's because of crap like this I lose my trust in copyright and share even more. After this I will share a lot more.
