sounds weird for me...
If I think about Switzerland, I talked different times with the SUISA (is like the SIAE in Italy) and they told me that keep at home bootlegs or "give a copy of them to closest friends" isn't against the law.
The worse thing is selling them.

Years ago I put a link on my website to let download a rare Honolulu 1999 bootleg on mp3 (audio).
After maybe over 70 downloads, I was A LOT over the bandwith month limit for my website, my hosting put it down and send me an email that I was 30 times illegal ahahahah.

After that, I had to wrote a signed letter by registered mail to say I understood my error and I was not going to do that anymore :D

Yes its the BPI in the UK and they haven't even been taking downloaders to court until the last year and then only the really heavy ones. I think they have taken 46 people to court, I read that they expect the music companies to have something in place for use instead of illegal downloads, hence why spotify, we7 last fm etc are getting popular here. They have never gone after any with bootlegs unless they are selling them.
