- An anti-piracy company has found itself in the middle of a huge controversy. CIAPC, the company that had The Pirate Bay blocked by ISPs in Finland, tracked an alleged file-sharer and demanded a cash settlement. However, the Internet account holder refused to pay which escalated things to an unprecedented level. In response, this week police raided the home of the 9-year-old suspect and confiscated her Winnie the Pooh laptop.

This is really really sad. Copyright is being abused where ever possible. What shocked me most was that this story came from Finland and not from the USA. I always thought that the Finnish people were reasonable people. Apparently they have fallen victim to the great music mafia... The sorry thing is that piracy actually helps the sales more than it destroys them. It is madness. When will they learn?
