——————–

they should be happy they have something valid to campaign for. it should be about the issues not about accruing more money. they should do it for free. why be so greedy as to expect contributions from everyone? campaigning isn’t expensive, not with the advent of the internet anyway. indeed, campaigning has never been cheaper! they are able to spread their message around the world INSTANTLY to EVERYONE at virtually NO COST to themselves whatsoever. these campaign manager dinosaurs need to either hurry up and die or realize that everything should be free in the future and adapt accordingly.

/sarcasm off

“libertarians are the monsters who make the world as it is… ever heard of neocons ? tsssk”

Are you completely insane? What the heck do Libertarians and Neo-Cons have to do with each other? Apples and oranges, lad … they have absolutely nothing in common. Some Libertarians may share certain views with Traditional Conservatives, but Neo-Conservatives have more in common with modern Liberals and other Leftist idiots. If anything, Libertarians and (political) Pirates are cut from the same cloth … both support individual freedoms … at least in theory. To put Neo-Cons in the Libertarian camp is absolutely ridiculous … you’re either very young or extremely ill-informed.

He talks about the advance of technology and how silly it is to try and stop it, and then discusses the damages done by excessive intellectual property. He discusses how copyright often gets in the way of the creative class in getting their works out there and consumed, and when that happens the interests of spreading ideas should outweigh any protective interests. And this is coming from someone who is considered one of Sweden’s most prolific writers. The idea that things like The Pirate Bay needs to be stopped or there won’t be incentives to create are pretty much disproved right here. [...]
