[pp.int.general] Anti-Piracy Cash Operation

[Nicolas Sahlqvist]

I stumbled over a interesting article about the leaked documents about the
Anti-Piracy Cash Operation that seems to be initiated by the MAFIAA
movement, they actually make a business model in sending threats of
copyright infringement to people and it is generating a LOT of money (150
times more profitable then legal sales!) as the articles explains:

The leaked document actually shows that the firm chasing file-sharers are
actually putting copyrighted content on the P2P networks in the 1st place so
is that not entrapment? I doubt these methods are 100% legal..
