Swedish court fines man $650K for one pirate upload, half of that
because the upload was "low quality!"
http://j.mp/1bcU4WA (Slashdot)
"A 28-year-old man in Sweden has been fined 4.3 million SEK (~650,000
USD) for uploading one movie. 300,000 SEK of that was added because of
the upload's low technical quality ..."

Ya' see, the court figured that because his pirate copy wasn't high
quality, it damaged the reputation of the film when people watched the
lower quality pirate version! Moral: Always keep your pirate uploads
as high quality as possible.
