Danish authorities have claimed two new victories in the ongoing battle against online piracy. A 46-year-old man, who allegedly uploaded content to the Danish torrent trackers "SuperBits" and "DanishBytes", was sentenced to nine months in prison. The other defendant, a 48-year-old man, was linked to 'The Scene'. He received a twelve-month sentence for hosting two servers and sharing pirated content in one of the most elusive piracy groups.

I don't understand why nordics would give any fuck about mostly American "IP"

Esp in light of recent US behaviour.

According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.

The article mentioned Danish language children’s programs specifically. In some countries children’s shows are partially funded by the government, which if that’s the case it’s an insult to the monarchy as well.

Uncle Sam has ways of making other jurisdictions discover they have fux to give. Bulgaria is a good example from recent years. Other countries are better at containing him on the copyright question eg Australia, Canada, Netherlands, etc
