| 116903 | 2003-01-28 09:55:00 | Wonder if this will extend to other Countries? If you've ever used a peer-to-peer network and swapped copyrighted files, chances are pretty good you're guilty of a federal felony . It doesn't matter if you've forsworn Napster, uninstalled Kazaa and now are eagerly padding the record industry's bottom line by snapping up $15 . 99 CDs by the cartload . Be warned--you're what prosecutors like to think of as an unindicted federal felon . A obscure law called the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act that former U . S . President Bill Clinton signed in 1997 makes peer-to-peer (P2P) pirates liable for $250,000 in fines and subject to prison terms of up to three years . (You may want to read it, since you'll likely be hearing more about it soon . ) That's a long time to spend cooling your heels in Club Fed . I think Sweden has a simular Law on this? Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |
