After “awareness” campaigns that failed to move the needle for years, Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy. The Rights Alliance confirmed it will begin filing civil lawsuits against individual students who are caught sharing even a single digital textbook. The anti-piracy group prefers not to mention the targeted platforms but says it uses undercover monitoring of private groups to gather evidence.
Used to live in Denmark a good decade ago, “nice” to see that nothing really changed.
Back then there was a quasi-proverb going around - you could sit in the middle of the most public part, butt naked, your girl riding your dick, a bottle of vodka in one hand and a joint in the other, and if police saw you, the worst thing you’d get is a high five. But dare you download a single episode of Game Of Thrones…
I’ve never actually heard of anyone in Denmark getting in trouble for downloading stuff. Sure, some get in trouble by selling it, but supporting piracy just to turn around and selling pirated stuff is fucking hypocritcal anyway.
Piracy isnt really well enforced
And in Denmark they have to prove who did it. Cant put the owner of an ip address in jail for what others have done…
So far only distributors and people who have admitted guilt, have lost in court as far as i know
