Sweden Gives Dreamworks a Nightmare
Now that I've wiped the tears from my laughing eyes, I can post this.
A Dreamworks lawyer sent a threatening letter to a Swedish ISP for hosting a file sharing server containing a bootleged copy of Shrek. It seems Swedish law is not as rabid about intellectual property as in the States. Here's an excerpt from their reply:
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.
