That surely means that 92.9% of the Swedish electorate couldn't give a flying f*ck about the whole filesharing issue? Does the fact that the PP has atrracted about as much support as the British facist party, the BNP, mean that the UK is about to slide into an era of Nazi dominated politics? Of course it doesn't. How about some balance instead of all this spin? 7.1% of the vote? That surely means that 92.9% of the Swedish electorate couldn’t give a flying f*ck about the whole filesharing issue?

But I don't see any problem with that. Under the present IP regime, both "innovation" and "creativity" are overproduced: almost everyone can be a writer, almost everyone can invent and patent some trinket, there is no shortage of junk software, junk books, junk music, junk movies and junk "lifestyle" drugs either. If you are hell-bent on innovating and creating, do not imply that others will accept a Soviet-like regime of intellectual property enforcement built upon a Cult of Growth.

In terms of established parties, the Greens are pretty much the only party that have similar views on Intellectual Property.
