Such an obvious idea, but what perfect timing. According to Slashdot, a Swedish company is now offering insurance against possible P2P lawsuits. "A new insurance company in Sweden is offering a new policy to protect you from the RIAA [Swedish]. For a mere 140 SEK ($19 USD) per year, they will pay all your fines and give you a t-shirt if you get convicted for file sharing. Interesting development in Sweden indeed."
I don't speak a word of Swedish, but I'm pretty sure the T-Shirt loosely translates to, "I got sued by the RIAA and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"

1. Translation absolutely correct - this is a great idea - a REAL moneymaker for those inclined to do it.
