tldr;

Piracy in Finland on a sharp rise, still the lowest of the Nordics even though 40% of shows pirated are Finnish. Sweden has double the amount of pirates compared to others.

that is incredible, 5% of all swedish households are using illegal iptv. really, that number makes me doubt the whole study - but I don't live in sweden, maybe that's how it is.

Sweeden was the birth of the Pirate Bay.

Re: Unauthorized Use of DreamWorks SKG Properties

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium, will result in

a) a suit being filed for harassment

b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for sending frivolous legal threats.

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on http://www.thepiratebay.org/

Go fuck yourself.

Polite as usual,

anakata

How do you even measure that?

Interesting question indeed, also 40% of the content, by GB, or by length, or by number?

[–] dgsoa@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably having a sample size of 1-2 thousand people and then scaling it up.
