Sintesi Legislator

Generato dall'IA

The Supreme Court ruled that the unauthorized copying of computer programs from an email mailbox to personal computers constituted a civil copyright infringement rather than a criminal offense. The defendant established and managed an email box where users transferred and copied software, leading to a dispute over the nature of the violation. The court determined that the act fell under civil liability provisions because it lacked the specific intent and scale required for criminal prosecution under Finnish law.
