Pirate Party launches file-sharer fine insurance
While file-sharing copyrighted movies and music is illegal, it remains popular and file-sharers can now sign up for insurance to fund any fines incurred as a result of getting caught.
The idea comes from a similar scheme to pay fines incurred for non-payment of fares in the Stockholm metro system.
"On the Internet, it is very difficult to know what is legal and what is not, especially as the copyright law has little basis in public opinion on justice," said Gustav Nipe, chairman of the Pirate Party youth league, Ung Pirat, which is the organisation behind the insurance.
"We are therefore seeing to it that internet users can always feel safe on the internet," he said.
