The Swedish fee really is aimed at "piracy for private use", as clearly detailed in the written laws, not for duplicating one's own records/movies onto a second piece of storage.
- Aachen 3y agoI didn't say it's for one's own content duplication Has an individual in Sweden ever been taken to court over sharing movies with others online? How did that go? I recall the pirate bay's domain was taken at some point and the hosting raided, despite not even hosting any copyrighted content but rather facilitating copyright infringement for the masses, so I presume copyright for individuals is still a thing there
