Ok, I think I understand what happened, from the original article.
The content companies wanted the teenager to lay some eggs, via payment for watching/hearing their music/videos. Instead, the headmaster found out that the teenager instead had laid a bomb, which was in the form of pirated content in his computer. He chased the teenager with a rolling pin but he managed to get away, so he turned him in to the swedish prosecutor, who then put the teenager in a pot. But then the court opened the pot and let the teenager go free. And now the prosecutor is threatening to appeal and pursue the teenager with a meat cleaver.
Wow, hotels and resorts are not service providers, but end customers.
Hey, I just figured out my phone company and the pizza delivery I use are not service provider either! They should be liable for everything. Like, if they send pizza somewhere owned by the Mafia (not the MAFIAA though) they should go to jail for money laundering or racketeering or something!
"However, as early as 1988, the relationship between these companies was strained, as proven in Ultima V, where one curse word was "Electronic Arts." Richard Garriott felt that EA's policies were destructive, and the relationship worsened over time.
1990, Origin openly based several bloodthirsty pirates in Ultima VI on senior EA employees Trip Hawkins (Captain Hawkins), Joe Ybarra (Old Ybarra), Bing Gordon (Alastor Gordon) and Steward Bonn (Bonn). Richard Garriott also named a morgue after Hawkins. The practice continued in Ultima VII wherein three generators formed the EA logo, the initials of the "bad guys" Elizabeth and Abraham were "EA," and the Guardian was the "Destroyer of Worlds" (Origin's motto was "We Create Worlds")."
