Swedish court fines man $650K for one pirate upload, half of that
because the upload was "low quality!"

    "A 28-year-old man in Sweden has been fined 4.3 million SEK (~650,000
     USD) for uploading one movie. 300,000 SEK of that was added because of

quality, it damaged the reputation of the film when people watched the
lower quality pirate version! Moral: Always keep your pirate uploads
as high quality as possible.
