Danish authorities have claimed two new victories in the ongoing battle against online piracy. A 46-year-old man, who allegedly uploaded content to the Danish torrent trackers "SuperBits" and "DanishBytes", was sentenced to nine months in prison. The other defendant, a 48-year-old man, was linked to 'The Scene'. He received a twelve-month sentence for hosting two servers and sharing pirated content in one of the most elusive piracy groups.

Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.

I don't understand why nordics would give any fuck about mostly American "IP"

Esp in light of recent US behaviour.

The article mentioned Danish language children’s programs specifically. In some countries children’s shows are partially funded by the government, which if that’s the case it’s an insult to the monarchy as well.

No because those program are free to watch. The kind of like bbc. The only barrier for outsiders is the language.

These are private trackers, right?

Yes, except of course The Scene. IIRC only two of the mentioned trackers still exist today.

Surprised the authorities would go after users of a private tracker, seems like a low impact area compared to public trackers or even pirate movie streaming sites.
