short: The courts of Denmark condemned two unveiled men in a continuous suppression campaign on digital piracy. One of them received a nine -month prison sentence for loading huge amounts of pirated content to Danish torrent followers. The court sentenced the other to the year for his involvement in the notorious piracy group.
The first condemnation included “a 46 -year -old man”, 74 terabytes of films and TV programs for copyright through the Superpts and Danishbytes. Torrent Frick reports that the Hillier Stadium Heal He has a period of nine months in prison, with at least three months before the eligibility of the conditional release. The judge also ordered the man to complete 120 hours of community service. His specific role in torrent sites is unclear, but the authorities said that his contribution to piracy is “great”.
In a separate case, the Falstercourt NYKUNING Court sentenced a 48 -year -old to 12 months in prison, with a minimum of four months. The court found him guilty of hosting two servants and illegally distributing content within the scene, a very secret piracy network. Its devices contained 134 terabytes of copyright. According to the investigators, the man torn and distributed the Danish children chain of broadcasting platforms. Police arrested him in November 2023, causing a wider sweeping of the scene, which resulted in the demise of many other Danish piracy groups.
These condemnation is different from how Denmark usually does online piracy. Previously, many convicted contestants received conditional penalties, which allowed them to avoid prison time if they had a trouble outside the troubles. However, this time, the courts have looked more crimes, which led to the first unconditional prison sentence in Denmark on charges of piracy without a profit.
“This is the first time that the courts have imposed an unconditional prison sentence on file participants who do not have a criminal record and have not benefited financially,” said the Danish Crime Prosecutor (NSK).
