What’s humourous about this is it proves that pursuing legal actions against file sharers is impossible. What really needs to be developed is some legal easy way for such actions to happen. This is all part of the revolution of the internet. Rejoice, for change is good. This will bring about so many good things, I just wish everyone would get past the stigma of “it is wrong” and focus on “how can we make this okay/acceptable?”

Ages 15 to 74. That isn’t a statistic, that’s a good guess. And they were trying to be nice. Try more like 10 to 65.

I would like to see them try and use that survey in court.

“According to new research carried out by music group IFPI, around 40% of Swedes between 15 and 74 illegally share files every single day. ”

Yeah, lots of 73 year old Swedes listen to illegally downloaded speedmetal.

The most embarrasing part of IFPI’s numbers and surveys is that, with their own logic, 40% of swedes sharing files illegaly must mean that neaither the music industry nor the movie or gaming industry can be macing any money, seeing that those who can use a computer or a remote controle for a television knows how to file-share.

Here’s an insight for those who say it can’t be a law if millions break it: 99.9999999(repeating)% of Americans speed on the highway. The speed limit is and always will be 70-75 MPH. Yet everyone will do 80 as long as the cops aren’t looking, when they do 65.

For most filesharers right now, smuggling copyrighted content over the interwebz, the cops aren’t looking. Or they are too busy racing down the information superhighway after an 18 wheeler full of files, with copies of them flying around and sometimes hitting your little Prius.

They’re on a high speed chase after the big file sharers. And they aren’t even writing down your tag number when they race by.
