Foreign netizens seeded 40 movies and faced 18 months in prison

BT download is one of the important ways to share network resources. However, its convenience and design mechanism also make it easy to become a hotbed for piracy.

According to media reports , a Danish Internet user admitted that he had privately seeded and shared 40 movies. Now he faces up to 18 months in prison and some joint and several liability.

The report said that the user shared the copyrighted content on a membership-based seeding site. Unlike public BT sites, private seeding requires a good reputation of the account, and also requires the sharer and downloader to download a lot and upload frequently.

The copyright organizations and film producers whose interests have been infringed have a very tough and serious attitude towards this matter, which has caused the accused netizens to become the target of public criticism and it is difficult to give them a lenient sentence.

The owners of genuine copyrights hope that through this incident, more people will respect copyright, respect genuine products, and stay away from piracy.
