Insurance company for pirates

Last week saw two new insurance companies emerge in Sweden. As the names Tankafritt.nu (Swedish, "download freely") and Delaut.se (Swedish, "share") implies, the purpose is to let people download and upload freely, without worrying about persecution by various antipiracy groups.

For just 113 danish kroner (15.15 € / 19.29 US$ / 10.47 £) a year you can join tankafritt.nu's service in sweden, and if you recieve a compensation demand, the company pays. Additionally you recieve a t-shirt with the text "I was convicted of filesharing and all I got was a lousy t-shirt". According to the spokesperson for tankafritt.nu there are plans for expansion:

- We have plans for Denmark aswell. For now we are examining the legal grounds to see if it is possible, says Magnus Bråth, 29-year old owner of tankafritt.nu to the danish news agency Ritzau. It is important that we do not break the local law.
