In some European countries, the authorities are taking rigorous action against film and music piracy. Even downloading a single file can lead to fines, criminal proceedings and warnings.

In Switzerland, the legal situation is somewhat different. Here, you can download or stream certain content from the internet without paying for it under certain circumstances.

I think they are rather isolated. At least I have a hard time finding cases.

Here is another one, but this guy was running a website for sharing pirated stuff, which I think is much easier to track without violating privacy laws.
