Ignacio Escolar Jail Scare

Ignacio Escolar, a Spanish journalist wrote a poorly researched article arguing that foneros in Spain could go to jail for two years for downloading our software (links in my Spanish blog).

If this were true, there would be a lot of people in jail at Boingo, T Mobile, Eurospot…
