The father of a child accused of illegally downloading music in Finland has paid a 300 euros (£243; $390) fine to a Finnish anti-piracy group. He had refused to pay the original settlement of 600 euros and sign a non-disclosure agreement. A police warrant was then issued to confiscate the laptop of the girl, who was aged nine at the time. The anti-piracy group said it was acting “within the boundaries of Finnish legislation”. The girl had searched blocked torrent site The Pirate Bay for an album by Finnish popstar Chisu. Her father claims they were unable to download the album and purchased it legitimately the following day.
