The founder of a site that provided fan-created subtitles has lost his appeal against a conviction for copyright infringement. In 2017 a Swedish court found that the unauthorized distribution of movie subtitles is a crime, sentencing the then 32-year-old to probation and a fine. The Court of Appeal has now largely upheld that earlier verdict.

    "the Universal Declaration of Human Rights"

    A document that gets off to a good start and deliberately goes completely off the rails by the end.

    Sad, that.
