This is Andreas. He is 28, and Swedens first prosecuted P2P user. He had *one* movie on his computer that was distributed via Direct Connect and recieved today 80 days payment penalty.

Andreas *didn't even know* the movie was on his machine as it was distributed.

The evidence was in the form of a screenshot of the investigators downloading the movie of his IP address.

Piratbyran, the swedish "pirate bureau" thought this was weak evidence and immediatelly created the evidence machine: "bevis maskinen" *currently down, bandwidth issues because of intrests in this case..

IFPI will start tracking IP's for illegal downloads across europe *tomorrow* (officially yesterday) for those who want to be on the safer side ;-) (mainly music)

or download TOR, previously posted by mguru.. (no guarantees that it will help though)

feel free to discuss this and related issues the case in the comments..

i am thinking of cementing a 1TB external harddisk into my wall that I can disconnect & hide when the pigs come

even better.. is there anyone who knows abou the laws when a wireless network is involved? if someone has hacked it and downloaded content off my connection, then how can I be guilty?

The software they use could be this tracking software from logistep. Don´t know the legal situation in Switzerland either...
