    They should realize it can not be stopped and try other ways.
    Like pay a yearly fee or something and be able to download from internet.

    It is not USA, it is mostly in the 3rd world countries that illegal download web servers are setup which is impossible for anyone to police.

    A guy from another forum said his friend in Canada got notice from MGM Studios for downloading a recently released movie. Is it possible ? He was using Rogers!!

    It is possible, I heard of a few such cases involving other ISPs.

    I really admire them for their consideration. Maybe so that the Swedish Antipiracy police do not need to travel too far to interview them :)

    But I heard they are solid and safe in Sweden due to Swedish privacy laws. So that may be why. Quite funny though.....
