Their graph, uh, sucks. It should be a vertical line, X = 0.

HAHAHAHAH!!! THAT FUCKING PWNS!!!! <3 Swedes.

Technically, if legal procedings are brought against them, they can be tried in absentia but even if they are found guilty, the only way they are forced to pay any money/ serve any prison sentence, they must first enter the US.

And then become citizens.

EA:

Hello and thank you for contacting us. We have shut down the website in
question.

Oh wait, just kidding. We haven't, since the site in question is fully
legal. Unlike certain other countries, such as the one you're in, we have
sane copyright laws here. But we also have polar bears roaming the
streets and attacking people :-(.

Please don't sue us right now, our lawyer is passed out in an alley from
too much moonshine, so please atleast wait until he's found and doesn't
have a huge hangover...

You're free to demand anything you want. So are we. We demand that you
cease and desist sending letters like this, since they're frivolous and
meaningless. Where should I send the bill for the consumed diskspace and
bandwidth?
