Tankafritt

Tankafritt or Tankafritt.nu, which translates literally as "download freely" (."now"), was started in Sweden in June 2006. The program is an insurance firm for filesharing fines. For about $19 the Swedish filesharers are protected against the RIAA [ [http://news.com.com/Swedes+in+good+hands+with+P2P+insurance+policy/2100-1025_3-6090266.html?tag=sas.email Swedes in good hands with P2P insurance policy? | CNET News.com ] ] . According to the founder Magnus Bråth the company is working towards expanding beyond Sweden but there are still legal issues [ [http://www.out-law.com/page-7058 File sharing damages insurer plans international expansion | OUT-LAW.COM ] ] .

Their sales pitch is that if you're ever convicted of a criminal copyright infringement in a filesharing case, all you get is a T-shirt saying "I was convicted of filesharing, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
