GERMANS risk two years in prison if they illegally download films and
music for private use under a new law agreed yesterday. Anybody who
downloads films for commercial use could be jailed for up to five
years.

Ouch! I wonder what the minors downloading films will get, hopefully a
reduced sentance ;-)
