P2P Collection Costs Man Huge Fine, Suspended Sentence
A 55 year old man from Vannes, France, is counting the cost after a police search on his property turned up his pirate media collection. Back in 2006 the police, who were conducting a search linked to an unrelated fraud case, stumbled across the man’s sizable pirate media collection which included 12,591 MP3 files, 426 movies, 16 full TV-series and dozens of items of pirated software. During the April hearing the retired IT expert said in his defense that it took him a whole year to accumulate the collection by using eMule on the eD2k network, but it was intended for private, not commercial use.
