In Finland, piracy fines are orders of magnitude higher than fines for rape, torture and murder

Remember the scandal last week about the girl whose laptop was confiscated for downloading a album from Chisu?

Well, here's another shocking story about the same company, with a staggering €400,000 fine to a young man aged 21.

According to this, piracy is worse then rape or murder in Finland, i.e. a fine for murder is up to €11,000 and rape/torture €2,000.

The fine for downloading is a whopping €800,000 to a couple.

Moral of the story?

Learn to use a proper peerblock."
