A copyright violator in Denmark wants authorities to arrest him

A citizen of Denmark Henrik Anderson decided to check the force of the copyright laws in the country and copied some DVDs anyway, a whole bunch of them. Having uploaded the contents of 100 discs to his computer (for personal use), he's asking to be arrested. At first Anderson reported his crime to Denmark's Antipiratgruppen, a dedicated organization in Denmark that fights piracy. However the watchdog failed to take any punitive measures against the violator. The only answer was that since his DVD ripping was for personal use, it would not be pursuing legal action against him. Then Anderson decided to approach his local police asking them to arrest him for his committing the crime. It is unclear if the police responded. The Danish Ministry of Culture issued a threatening letter to Anderson warning him that his actions were against the law. But as we see the national anti-piracy group has no desire to prosecute him. This way Anderson shows to the public the paradox of contradictory laws and selective enforcement. Source:ecommerce-journal.com/
