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.

That would be all of us. Human rights, you may have heard the phrase?
The idea that only big corporations have rights, and the practice of calling their privileges 'rights,' need to be rejected. Instead you've clearly swallowed them whole.
You'll get what you deserve, but the rest of us don't deserve to have to share it with you.

You're not the only hardline individualist/right-to-life-above-all-else advocate out here, as I've explained to you before. Posts at -1 are NOT "censored", and even if you stubbornly and incorrectly disagree, more -1, Spam mods will not help your situation.
Please stop spamming your posts when authoritarians mod them down.

If that's the default, then I define that as censorship.
So... suck my intact cock.

I'm not ignoring it because I don't see it, I'm ignoring it because it seems senseless and off-topic.

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