In Scotland, an elderly woman who has shared thousands of music files has been given a suspended sentence and therapy.

No-no, they will not be shocked by the current, this is not a shock therapy (although, judging by the latest achievements of the copywriter, everyone can be expected soon). Instead, a pensioner (58 years old), who posted 7,493 music files + 24,000 karaoke files for open access, will be forced to heal from the desire for hoarding, plus she was given a suspended sentence of three years. It seems to me that the woman simply did not suspect that this could not be done, and out of the kindness of her soul she unloaded all her hard-earned files on the Internet. The law enforcement authorities who conducted the investigation, estimated the market value of this collection at 54,000 pounds sterling.

Contrary to similar stories in the United States, where for a few dozen music files downloaded illegally, they could award a couple million dollars in fines, the pensioner was not fined. We were sentenced to 3 years probation + forced to undergo therapy. I wonder where this is the file sharing service? Probably a very reputable clinic with reputable British scientists experts. They will definitely help the grandmother to "recover".

It is also interesting that this lawsuit is the first in Scotland. Apparently, they decided to make it exemplary, not particularly punishing the guilty, but an illustrative example of the offenders is still shown. It is thought that every next defendant passing through a similar case will receive an ever heavier punishment.

Yes, I almost forgot the most interesting thing: after the grandmother was examined, the doctors came to the conclusion that she had a special mental disorder, leading to the desire to save something, to fold. In this case, doctors believe that the disease of a woman is expressed in an effort to accumulate music files. So, guys, those who have accumulated dozens and hundreds of gigabytes of music, movies, games and other things on their hard drives, consider yourself potential clients of British medical scientists .
