Says the person calling themselves "s3pu1chr4v3".

Tbh, the guy is completely wrong, sex or gender (and remember, the two are different: gender is the role, sex is what you are physically) don't have too much of an impact upon the decisions made. I would like to debate the stupidity of the previous posters, but you haven't done much to redeem this thread.

I am only pessimistic about the chances that anything good could happen when people do nothing. Nothing comes from nothing. But by doing something, people can make a difference.

This only proves that govts. only care about money and not about public safety, etc.
So many important issues to be worried about.
Why wont they let the P2Pers alone. We dont hurt anybody, except the mafias who control the music/movie industry.
They will have to learn how to cope with this. Nothing can stop P2P/file sharing.

"It would also enable the police to find out who sent an email to who, along with details of telephone calls."

Am I the only one who thinks this is getting, well, not very cool? I mean, if some randomm dude can listen to my phonecalls and read my mail, I want to be able to listen and read his.

Also, this is not gonna work. AFAIK there's a lot of P2P-users, and not so much place in jail.

Structural fail.

I have no experience of anything other than I2P and Tor but both of those networks are totally unsuitable for P2P, except relatively small files. They are so, so goddamn slow.

Apparently you've completely missed the fact that men have been coming up with this legislation in other countries – almost exclusively men. Is it that your just retarded enough to notice a female name and then make a comment like that…?

Stupid twat.

This law will push file sharing underground making distribution companies pay more to proscute file shares. Reducing thier profits even more.

Hey, Delusional Mind. When this legislation gets shot down, and TorrentFreak reports on it, I'm going to copy & paste your comment in verbatim.

Then we're all going to just sit back and laugh, and laugh, and laugh at you.

Moreso than we already do, I mean.

"that was created for sale and intended to be sold"
Clearly a misunderstanding of the nature of art from an industry idiot. YOU are clearly on the wrong side of history, you dimwit.

Now jump off of a cliff or something. It would do humanity a big favor.

The way I see it is simple, the current companies and groups "protecting copyrights" like thr RIAA and Web Straff are in it just for the money. Do the math, they collect millions of dollars off people who are too afraid to fight in court with them and quietly pay up.

That needs to stop. Now the only way to stop that is to show the gov's that they are only in it for the money, and cant be trusted. This can be donw several ways, but they all add up to the same thing. Once this law passes and they start arresting people, all filesharers must allow themselves to be caught. As dxtr hit on, the jail system will overload. Once the swedish gov sees for themselves just how many people all this involves, they might be more willing to listen to why they do it, and the pros it can have.

Until something like this happens, they gov's will keep their ears shut, and we'll keep getting fined/jailled.

I totally agree, but the odds of protests stopping the legislation from coming through are … Well, slim. I'm not saying that it is impossible, I most certainly hope that people succeed in it, but we have to be more realistic, and expect that things might not turn out the way we want them to.

Maybe I'm just being over-pessimistic, but either way, good luck to the Swedish people.

Copyright is on the wrong side of history. It's a more recent invention than you think, and today's laws are even harsher than what copyright was supposed to be. The laws do not conform to reality, where data is data and anything that exists as digital information can be copied over and over at practically no cost. We still support creators. We filesharers attend more concerts, listen to more bands, and that means more money and support for artists. We don't support the broken copyright system, and we don't support the record companies that have outlived their purpose, and resort to taking our culture's music hostage.

By: Norm

Norm — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:11:49 +0000

agreed. we cant just go on hiding. perhaps we will eventually prevail that way but the time for slow reform is over. We need to be vocal about our opposition to draconian copyright laws and our support of file sharing.

Hahahahaha Women?
So only women are against piracy?
Last time I checked, the head of the MPAA is a man. The heads of the major labels are mostly men.

Gender has nothing to do with this. I urge you to reassess your attitude towards gender.

The underlying fundaments of all this were never "free speech" or "free culture' or "free information" Rather, they have always been TAKING something for free that was created for sale and intended to be sold. Even Sweden, especially Sweden, with its high moral standing and fair handed, generous approach to living, sees the value in paying properly for what is created through hard work and intended to be sold.

Piracy is and has always been on the wrong side of history. Watch and learn.

They had a hearing about the IPRED law/directive today in the swedish "Riksdag" (parliament).
Epic lulz commenced, they didn't know shit about what they were talking about etc.
Rick Falkvinge (Pirate Party party leader) did a blogging on it as many other swedish blogs but I haven't seen anything about it on english yet (Thinking it's good to spread the word of incompetent politicians that is supposed to decide about important things they don't know shit about).
