The law states that up to 6 years is only in "exceptionally aggravating circumstances" which would be difficult to argue here I believe (not a lawyer). About 15 years ago some kids got punished for explaining how to download mp3 files so it is very likely that these guys will also get some sort of punishment. The reason for them pleading guilty, I'd imagine, is because whether or not they did it is not hard to prove. The law itself is pretty scary although never really used as far as I know. The Danish version of MPAA has largely given up on suing private citizens and I had hoped they would stop completely since Netflix et al. are gaining ground. This is an unfortunate development. As a side note, according to a specialist lawyer, it is questionable whether or not it is actually illegal to stream pirated content since the user does not download anything to save locally [1]. Although maybe you could argue that since you are sharing it with others while you watch that is a crime.
