GristyMcFisty reports us that the police in
Iceland have this week raided the homes of 12 people
for using the DC++ file-sharing software. According to The Register the police
confiscated computer equipment and CDs. One suspect has been said to be sharing
2.5 TeraByte of data...
40 per cent, according to SMAIS (Iceland's association of film right holders), which filed the complaints which prompted police action. |
I don't know if I'm reading this correctly
but Internet traffic decreasing by 40% because 12 people got busted? I'm not
familiar with Iceland but either hardly anyone is using the Internet there or
the SMAIS is exaggerating. Any CD Freaks living in Iceland who can fill us
in?
