Two bootleggers arrested in Finland
I just read this from the biggest Finnish newspaper (Helsingin Sanomat). I'll try to translate it but I'm not so good at it. If someone's willing to do it better, please do. I'm not gonna even try to translate it word to word.
The custom of Tampere has found more than 3000 illegal concert recordings. Two young men have been arrested. The two men had bought concert recordings that were recorded in secret. The recordings had been transformed to cd-like bootleg recordings, which were impounded (I'm not sure about this word at all, I found it in a dictionary, other word were embargo, seize, sequester) for the first time in Finland. The bootlegs had been made in famous artists' concerts, beginning from The Beatles. The Finns have bought and traded recordings and copied them with computers. They have sold copies in internet in their homepages to all over the world. They've had customers in Europe, Canada, United States and Mexico. http://www.helsinginsanomat.fi/tuore...d=20030225OL31 for you Finns. So bootleggers, be ware!   Taija

Aha! BUT according to the Finnish law, it is only illegal if you try to profit from them. Trading is STILL legal, I suppose.
 THEY`RE NOT GONNA GET US!

Btw, if I understood the text of the Finnish Copyright Act correctly, they have quite an interesting clause there. The Copyright Act doesn't just prohibit unauthorised recording etc in Finland, but it also prohibits importing and distributing products that have been made or manufactured in conditions that would be illegal in Finland. In other words, it doesn't help at all if recording and manufacturing bootlegs would be illegal in some other country -- importing and distributing them in Finland would still be illegal.
Hmm.  Btw, since this is quite an important issue, I think we should copy the thread to the Jovi forums as well, either to the General Forum or the File Sharing forum.

IŽll keep on trading. And hope that I wonŽt get arrested.
 IŽll contact you, Iwan, as soon as it is possible for me as I have something very important going on in school at the moment.
