A 58-year-old man has been ordered to pay four Swedish TV companies more than $164,000 in damages after being found guilty of selling illegal IPTV service subscriptions. He claimed that a third party was responsible for the sales but a local court found him guilty of copyright infringement offenses, also handing down a four-month suspended prison sentence.

That fine is a bit heavy but I didn't realise that other countries judges were as daft as ours are, and give out those ineffective suspended sentences as well.

119 subscribers made $300,000 ?, I think his punters got their pants pulled down there
