Oh, and the trees? They will go to waste, because now that the felling has been* determined illegal, they're not FSC certified, and no industrial customer who wants to maintain their own certificates can touch them.
*a court might decide otherwise, but a felled tree is a perishable product before it is processed, and the courts will take their time.
Before Nokia mobile phones, the most important export product Finland had was a tree cut down and processed into wood pulp, then paper or cardboard. Later the industry "optimised" this to just the pulp, letting someone else create the paper.
That is, on the political-economic level we've never seen our forests as anything but a source for a cheap material stream. Turning a forest and a high voltage power line into a source of bits and waste heat fits perfectly into this equation.
