15-Year-Old Schoolboy On Trial After Head Teacher Tells Police About File-Sharing

A 15 year-old schoolboy with a taste for BitTorrent went to trial yesterday after downloading and sharing 24 Hollywood movies. The case, however, has a worrying twist. Rather than being hunted down online by an anti-piracy company, the teenager was turned over to the police by the head teacher at his school. The prosecutor says he had no choice but to take action.

In March 2011 the IT department of a Gothenburg school investigated the issue of a virus which apparently came from a student’s computer.

During a closer examination IT staff found that the student had 24 Hollywood movies stored on his hard drive. The 15-year-old boy in question had obtained them from two Swedish torrent sites – tankafetast.se and tankaner.se.

Ultimately the school’s head teacher learned of the IT technicians’ discovery but rather than deal with the issue in-house, she chose to drastically escalate the matter – by calling in the police. Now, five months after the alleged offenses, the boy is on trial in Sweden.

Only in the US… Oh wait, it’s right next door! :O

Remember kids: If you want to watch movies on a school issued laptop, then atleast use an external storage device that you own. The school has no buisness searching trough that. Tough some encryption and passwords are probably a good idea in either case.
