Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.

I don't understand why nordics would give any fuck about mostly American "IP"
Esp in light of recent US behaviour.
The article mentioned Danish language children’s programs specifically. In some countries children’s shows are partially funded by the government, which if that’s the case it’s an insult to the monarchy as well.
According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.
Uncle Sam has ways of making other jurisdictions discover they have fux to give. Bulgaria is a good example from recent years. Other countries are better at containing him on the copyright question eg Australia, Canada, Netherlands, etc
Share your direct ip address with strangers and hope they all pinky promised the private tracker that they are real pirates /s
These are private trackers, right?
Yes, except of course The Scene. IIRC only two of the mentioned trackers still exist today.
Surprised the authorities would go after users of a private tracker, seems like a low impact area compared to public trackers or even pirate movie streaming sites.
Says one of two things - either the guys opsec was comically sloppy and nailing him was free real estate, or getting this particular target was personal and thus the investigation got much more resources allocated than normal. Most LEO orgs (and prosecutors) just want to check the box that says YES we have successfully pwned 1 IP "criminal" in the past 1300 days, now let us continue harassing single mothers and busting drug labs in peace
