Reality never matters, but legalities do.

i am fully aware of what is ACTUALLY happening.

And what's that?

They are IN NO WAY attempting to pay the fine. It says so right there in the article. They are asking their users to give increments of 1 SEK to the company, so that they may force the law firm to lose money handling the payments. They are NOT asking the users to pay their fine. The only way this could affect the payment of their fine is if they cause the company to go under, in which case they'll probably be sued for conspiracy of fraud.

I don't see what you're getting at.

Actually, it is, considering that payment is the focus of the whole issue here.

Except delaying payment of the fine.

No. We want him tortured over his blatant disregard for the law. It's like wanting to torture O.J. Simpson.

Legality is semantics.
And they ARE doing it to avoid paying a fine.

And to financially damage the law firm, which is also a clause of Fraud.
