Danish national man given suspended sentence for posting explicit film scenes on the social platform Reddit
A Danish man has been found guilty of sharing sexually explicit scenes from copyrighted films and TV series on the social media site Reddit.
Based on a police document obtained by media outlets, the anonymous individual shared 347 video excerpts of explicit content in a Reddit group he moderated, which were then watched 4.2 million times.
The country's police confirm he has been given a seven-month suspended sentence for copyright infringement.
Experts explain the defendant was charged under a seldom-invoked clause in Danish copyright law, with the judge finding that by taking the scenes out of their original context, the man had damaged the artists' "moral rights".
He has also been convicted of sharing more than 25 TB of protected digital content.
From March 2022 to May 2023, the man known as "KlammereFyr" on Reddit posted adult clips featuring over 100 female performers.
He distributed them in the subreddit he was a moderator of.
According to the Danish anti-piracy organization The Rights Alliance (TRA), his online community had more than 6,000 members and participants were prompted to ask for clips of specific actors.
In 2023, campaigners filed the incident to the police on behalf of the affected actors, directors and production companies, which led to the subreddit being shut down.
One actress, one of the performers whose nude scenes were shared in the group, told Danish media at the time she believed there was a distinction between appearing naked in a film and being shown on Reddit.
The performer said the uploads constituted "abuse".
'A significant message'
The man was arrested in fall 2024 and pleaded culpable to the charges last month.
In a comment after the ruling, the head of the Rights Alliance the organization's leader said the decision sent an "important" signal "indicating violations of artists' rights have repercussions".
The ruling is viewed as unprecedented in Denmark for its use of the "ethical protections" clause of the national copyright law, which specifies an creator's work cannot be used in a way which violates their reputation.
Copyright law specialist Dr Alina Trapova told BBC News the legal matter was "rare" for its focus on the damage to the dignity of an artist, rather than to them financially.
The extent to which the ruling could affect nations abroad is uncertain.
But she added there may be "an increasing number of these actions" in the coming years with the advancement of AI, where "the sanctity of one's work might be compromised with greater ease".
