- jeltz 13y agoIt would have been important if it had been correct. In the verdict it is made clear that the damages are only awarded for "Beck, Levande begravd". So it is 650k per movie. Punitive damages are also illegal in Sweden so the fact that he shared multiple movies does not matter here. https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/902374/12-506-vastmanland-swebits-dom-tingsratten.pdf https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/9023... EDIT: My theory for why they only targeted one movie is to make the trial simpler, and they would not be able to get more money than this anyway. They will charge you with enough movies to reach what you reasonably can pay off.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoPresumably the copyright holders of the other movies can now prosecute and get the same amount per movie in judgement?
