Big Music nails Norwegian
p2pnet.net News:- A 36-year-old Norwegian is to be sentenced for running an “illegal” online file sharing service.
It’s the first conviction of its type in Norway, says Aftenposten, going on that the court ruled the man had willingly and knowingly made a significant number of film and music files available, infringing copyright law in the process.
“The Sandefjord man placed material on his employer’s (telecom company NetCom’s) server to facilitate transfer," says the story. "A police raid revealed more than 60,000 pirated film and music files.”
What happens now?
“Before the case went to trial representatives for the Norwegian recording industry signaled that they could sue for compensation if a guilty verdict was returned,” says Aftenposten.

In the P.S.A, we have little kids being kidnapped and raped on a consistent basis, so what is probably going to happen very soon? Yes folks it is the Music Gestapo showing up at peoples’ door and hauling them off to the population control centers to be locked up.
Yes folks, it is your government at work. It protects the people who plant the seeds of sexual perversion and then protects those in whom these seeds mature. Sexual predators lists? What did they do for Jessica Lundsford or any other victim? I know what they do for the ones who cater specifically to paedophiles. They provide a free customer list at taxpayer expense.
Governments are clearly on the wrong side of issues here. The governments allow the use of taxpayer-financed strong arm tactics to protect the people who are responsible in large part for the decline of Western morality. They are turning productive people into second class citizens by making them into felons. It is time for people to step up and say ENOUGH!!!!
