In Anglo Sax world abbrevations are commonly used to describe Governmental bodies as well as Non-governmental. But it is a good thing to clarify that CIAPC isn't part of the Finnish Government, although they still have very much political power in Finland.Itse-oppinut dosenttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086385757056864498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157550047902451540.post-34532797068675645112012-11-22T00:39:22.398+00:002012-11-22T00:39:22.398+00:00TTVK expands to "Tekijänoikeuden Tiedotus ja ...TTVK expands to "Tekijänoikeuden Tiedotus ja Valvontakeskus", which means something like "Copyright informing and monitoring center" in english. Sounds pretty "official", doesn't it?<br /><br />Well, lucky to us, it's only a Ry, "Rekisteröity yhdistys", "Registered association" in english, I guess. And their goal? Only to benefit their members (which are "copyright monopolies", not to be confused with f.ex. "artists")<br /><br />In Finnish press, they're often referred to as "TTVK" (without Ry), which makes them sound like they were some governmental organization, which they're not. So they are in no way comparable with f.ex. the police (not the band), that's why it's important to point out whenever someone makes this mistake (forgetting Ry), as that gives a completely different image of the company.<br /><br />Basically they first sent the blackmail letter, and then just reported the crime to the police like anyone can do, and the police confiscated the 9-year old kids' computer.Jupp3https://www.blogger.com/profile/00966589799709715743noreply@blogger.com
