Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartolm Warg, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi and Car Lundstrom were sentenced to one year in jail and have to pay $4.5 million to Sony Music Entertainment, Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers.

There were 23 music files four movies and one tv show selected for the lawsuit.

“It’s so bizarre that we were convicted at all and it’s even more bizarre that we were [convicted] as a team,” Sunde, told the BBC. “We can’t pay and we wouldn’t pay. Even if I had the money I would rather burn everything I owned, and I wouldn’t even give them the ashes.”

The men plan on appealing the decision.
