Danish individual given deferred prison term for distributing explicit movie scenes on the social platform Reddit
A Denmark-based man has been convicted of sharing nude segments from protected films and TV series on the social media platform Reddit.
According to a police report obtained by media outlets, the unnamed man posted 347 clips of explicit scenes in a Reddit group he moderated, which were then watched 4.2 million-plus times.
The country's police state he has been handed a seven-month deferred sentence for violating copyright laws.
Experts say the man was charged under a seldom-invoked clause in Denmark's intellectual property legislation, with the judge ruling that by removing the footage out of their intended setting, the man had harmed the artists' "ethical entitlements".
He has additionally been convicted of distributing more than 25 TB of copyrighted data.
From March 2022 to mid-2023, the user known as "the pseudonym KlammereFyr" on Reddit posted sexually explicit scenes including over 100 actresses.
He shared them in the forum he was a administrator of.
According to the Danish anti-piracy group The Rights Alliance (TRA), his online community had more than 6,000 members and participants were encouraged to request clips of particular performers.
In 2023, campaigners reported the incident to the police on behalf of the impacted actors, directors and production companies, which led to the subreddit being closed down.
Andrea Vagn Jensen, one of the actresses whose explicit content were circulated in the community, told Danish broadcasters at the time she felt there was a distinction between appearing naked in a movie and appearing on Reddit.
The actress stated the posts constituted "exploitation".
'An important signal'
The man was arrested in fall 2024 and admitted culpable to the charges recently.
In a comment after the ruling, TRA head Maria Fredenslund said the decision sent an "significant" message "that violations of artists' rights have repercussions".
The ruling is considered unique in the country for its use of the "moral rights" section of the Danish Copyright Act, which states an artist's work cannot be used in a way which infringes upon their reputation.
Copyright law specialist Dr Alina Trapova informed the media the case was "unusual" for its emphasis on the damage to the integrity of an artist, rather than to them economically.
The extent to which the case could affect other countries is uncertain.
But she added there may be "more and more of these actions" in the coming years with the growth of AI, where "the integrity of an individual's work might be tempered with with greater ease".
