If you are running an Edonkey server and live in Denmark, you might want to reconsider one of these activities. Danish Antipiratgruppen ("Anti piracy group") has staged a raid of one private individual allegedly hosting an Edonkey server. Edonkey is a file-sharing program without a central server, which makes it different and harder to target than for example the centralized peer-to-peer technology used by Napster.

The authorities aided Antipiratgruppen in its raid presenting a search warrant to the alleged server host when he returned to his house with his family during the evening of September 16, 2002. According to Antipiratgruppen both the server host and the users of the service will face demands for damages from Antipiratgruppen. The search warrant was published online by the defendant, but was later removed on advice of counsel.
Description of the search and documentation (in Danish).

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be
lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.
