Clearing up some points
The verdict can be found here, but in Danish:
http://www.domstol.dk/oestrelandsret/nyheder/Pressemeddelelser/Pages/Pressemeddelelse(T-shirt-sag).aspx
Being a Dane and a former law student, I would like to clear some of the mistakes and misunderstandings that both the article and comments fare.
1) Two of the convicted were subsequently jailed - those who received the harshest sentences. The rest of the convicted were not jailed but had their sentences suspended under condition of no further criminal actions one year ahead. So if they don't do anything else, they won't serve the time.
2) The hot dog seller didn't sell the T-shirts. He put up some posters in his hot dog stand, upon which there was a picture of the T-shirts and a link to the website where the T-shirts could be bought.
3) The website made it very clear that the earnings were to be given to FARC and PFLP respectively. The website also stated that you might get in trouble for violating the anti-terror provisions of the Danish Criminal Code if you bought a T-shirt, so they knew what they were doing.
4) The website's proprietor was aware that the site was to be used for selling the T-shirts. He was also a member of the group and drafted a press release about the issue and the website.
There. If more things need clarifying, please ask and I will try to explain it - e.g. Danish Criminal Law and the legal reasoning in the verdict.
...STOP, because you need to read this in order to understand the situation better.
