Privacy Online News reports

Denmark's ISPs are collectively putting their foot down and will no longer surrender identifying subscriber information to the copyright industry's lawyer armies. This follows a ruling in neighboring Norway, where the Supreme Court ruled that ISP Telenor is under no obligation to surrender subscriber identities, observing that the infraction of the copyright distribution monopoly is not nearly a serious enough issue to breach telecommunications privacy. This has the potential to end a long time of copyright industry free reign in Denmark, and will likely create a long series of court cases.

    See what a democratic monarchy brings into life?
    Bribing govts and justices become more expensive, there's is someone who can't be bribed and who can dismiss evident corrupt officials.
    Tell ye, the monarchy is an institution... umm... opposed to progress.
