anti-piracy at its max
First Swede Prosecuted For File Sharing
By itself, the news isn’t too big. It’s just another case of pirate being caught. But it’s the method used that’s questionable. An unconfirmed report (I read it on faireal.net, a Japanese site) says that APB, the anti-piracy bureau (Antipiratbyrån) was using an agent who acted a part in the file sharing community. 68000 titles of games and stuff!!! A thought of cyber-Jack Beuer came to my mind, but heh… this is just insane. Even Jack wouldn’t go THAT far.
