Teen file-sharer in Norway charged

It's not in the news as much these days, but young file-sharers still face legal action. Police in Norway have charged a 16-year-old with illegal file-sharing. He's the first Norwegian to face such charges, Aftenposten.no reports. They'll ask for a suspended sentence of 60 days and a fine of about $644. His parents face a six-figure fine. "The boy is charged with running the network known as the Stavanger Dragon Hub in the file-sharing program Direct Connect, and administering the sharing of 7,000 films, 150,000 songs and 20,000 video clips," according to Aftenposten.
