Crazy EU Laws.. a professional concert pianist 7 years jail for playing a piano.

A professional concert pianist and her family faces 7 years each for her practicing her profession.

A Woman has taken her neighbors in the apartment below — a 27-year-old pianist and her parents — to court. Now prosecutors want to send all three to jail for over seven years on charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

On Monday, the first day of the trial, the El Pais newspaper reported that Bosom (piano playing victim) told the court she now hates pianos so much she can’t even stand to see or hear them in a film. The prosecution claims that years of hearing constant playing has caused Bosom “psychological injury.” Medical reports showed she suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks and gynecological problems.

The prosecutors have asked for all three defendants to be sentenced to six years in jail for noise pollution and an additional 1½ years for psychological damage. They have also demanded that all three be prohibited from playing the piano professionally for four years.
