 the 30 million SEK is insane anyway. Where were they supposed to go dig up that kind of money? So they can't obviously pay and then what? Force them into slavery for the rest of their natural lives? It's silly. While I understnad the Swedish court wanted to set an example, any fines in these sizes are simply silly. It's so much money most people can't even imagine it.

Apart from that, I agree with MatrixWorks. The whole trial is dangerous. In Danish TV they made a quick Google search, and lo and behold: Tons of torrents popped up. So what's next? Someone sue Google for providing links to warez? It's supposedly easy enough to find warez on Google although of course more specialized search engines are probably better for it.

Personally I've never really figured out how this torrent thing works. I installed something way back when ReBirth (music making thing) was given away free from the manufacurers and that required a torrent-something-program but I've never used it since. I don't know what to look for L but I won't have any sleepless nights over anyone downloading my products for free (and I know that on one of the sites where I sell, the owner DO track down torrents of the things he sell, so I also know my stuff is out there) - again it's not lost sales, it's added exposure. When somone steals your product and then upload a picture anywhere.. other will see it and chances are at least SOME of them are honest enough to go and buy it L

And to the OP.. sorry. You just lost any future sales from me. I do not like to be called a potential thief like that.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
