Wow.. While the action is ethically crappy, I never would have thought that to be an arrestable offense. Using the actresses to generate new nudes and porn scenes? Sure, but to literally cut out the nude scenes from real movies? Kind of crazy to get arrested for that without some sort of warning or cease and desist letter first.
Yeah, an arrest for something that would be generally understood to be fair use is a lot.
I can see the case for "that's not fair use". I'm not necessarily convinced either way. But an arrest?
Looks like this is happening in Denmark, which has different laws than the US's "fair use."
Has Denmark ever arrested anyone before for copyright infringement? In most other places this is a civil, not a criminal thing.
That's not true at all, there are criminal penalties on the books for this sort of thing in pretty much all western countries
You know that the FBI is not a Denmark thing right?
Checkmate!
