		<description>I live in Sweden and I am SHOCKED and APPALLED at this awful development!

Taking the food right out our artists mouths by allowing you freetards to steal their content with the crime of filesharing is nothing short of scandalous.

But don&#039;t worry everyone, the good people at the RIAA/MPAA will use their powerful government to bludgeon my country into submission in the fullness of time. :)</description>

		<description>You know..... this might actually fly in America as well. The argument that, simply put, that the p2p-ing is just like a public library, that has movies, music, etc. of every size, shape and kind........ is a very good argument, and might fly in a court of law in numerous countries all over the world.</description>

		<description>nice as far as european union states following this idea well you can say that in the eu it is not illegal to share files so by france and others who belong to the eu that try to pass laws and say it is then they are wrong. the eu has even said that they want to invest a few million into the bittorrent scene to see where it can go. if you live in the eu and your government says something like we are going to make it illeagal then do not believe them it is more a scare tatic than anything else. and never forget you have a higher court in the end that does not sit in your land where you can fight so if you run into any problems then fight the f***ers in the eu court lol. think about how much the swedish government will make when swededn is a safe haven. that will be a lot of tax money comin in from all the companies out there in sweden dealing with the web and a lot  of new jobs. so maybe you who want to move there will get your chance when they look for peeps to fill these jobs lol.</description>

		<description>87: http://www.vansterpartiet.se/content/view/1062/

Please read and educate yourself! Feel free to use babelfish on the rest of the site, I can assure you that you will not find anything about &quot;everyone should be equally poor&quot;. 6 hour workday, equal salary for men and women for equal work and a continued work to maintain and improvement of the welfare state we still possess. Those are their main concerns at the moment.

Yes, I can see how you can relate that to dictatorship... what better way to torture a human beeing than to give him or her a few extra hours of spare time, oh the horror...</description>

		<description>The Swedish &quot;Left party&quot; is a communist party.
They are anti-capitalism, and this stand-point they take further proves their communist attitude that &quot;everything is for everyone&quot;, no matter if one has earned it or not (think big, beyond file sharing, a society where everyone is equally rich/poor, no individual differences, and absolutely no capitalism).
Support this, and you may just as well say you support Soviet era communism!</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t forget about HD video. 700MB is a relatively low quality rip, I tend to get those only if the required film is unavailable otherwise. Most new titles (and even some remastered old ones) are, however, available in HD, so, I&#039;d increase the movie size by an order of magnitude or so.</description>

		<description>I just wanted to give a personal thanks to all the Sweedish citizens that have made this happen so far. You are brave to stand against the idiocy of the rest of the &quot;modern&quot; world who fails to see the future.

I also like the common sense statement in the article: (paraphrase)...

&quot;When you have laws that would condemm most of your citizens as criminals, you know there&#039;s something wrong with those laws and they should be changed!&quot;


At any rate, it may still be a few years before other countries catch up with you guys, but it will be innevitable as hard drives get bigger and bigger. It&#039;s just a question of time. 

Check this out...

Assuming 1 aXXo movie = 700 MB, the average MP3 = 5 MB, and a $200 hard drive increases in capacity every 1.5 years (not unreasonable), then:

5 years (2012) - We&#039;ll have 7 Terabyte hard drives costing $200, capable of storing 9,643 Movies or 1.3 Million songs!!

10 years (2017) - We&#039;ll have 51 Terabyte hard drives costing $200, capable of storing 73,225 movies or 10.3 MILLION songs

15 years (2022) - We&#039;ll have a 389 Terabyte hard drive costing $200, that can store 556,000 Movies!!! or 77.8 Million songs (Is there even that many songs in the history of the world?!?!?)

20 years (2027) - We&#039;ll have a 2956 TERABYTE hard drive, costing $200, that can store 4.2 MILLION MOVIES or 590 MILLION MP3s!

==================
GAME *UCKING OVER!
===================

By 2030, we&#039;ll have every movie and song in the world stored on our freakin&#039; wrist watches!</description>

So for all progress, there must be backlash. The fact is that despite any &quot;backlash,&quot; the time is always now to act, for NOW is the time to put right what has been wrong for so long.</description>

		<description>1. Left party don&#039;t have any saying right now because it is  the right parties that controls sweden.

2. If the lefts will win the next election I think that the left party will use their influence on something that is higher up on their agenda.


Still it is a big step when a established party says yes to filesharing.

But I rather vote for the pirate party because then I atleast send a message to the rest of the goverment.</description>

		<description>do take into consideration the backlash this might incur from major ISPs. 

legalization of piracy (of course, this is some loose terminology) in a major economy like sweden&#039;s would probably give them a very good reason to put plans of obliterating net neutrality on full steam.

this would be a major victory if many very economically influential individuals did not have such passionate interests in keeping copyright intact. 

i don&#039;t see this enlightening the world so much as infuriating it.</description>

		<description>I like downloading off p2p but I dont what I law like this to pass in Canada.   Artists will refuse to make songs because they wont get payed.  Microsoft will banned the country, along with other entertainment companies. They will no longer be offered many products like xbox, ps3, wii because those companies wont sell anything to them.</description>

		<description>Fuck around, that&#039;s great. Now what will happen when the special interests come demanding money. Perhaps a copying levy like in Canada?</description>

You should try brushing up on your English first.

And there is a language called SWEDISH. If you don&#039;t even know this you might want to think twice about moving to Sweden.</description>

		<description>@65
How about, GET AN ACTUAL JOB. There is no virtue in making money through junk &quot;music.&quot; Go bet a degree, become a doctor, engineer, or something.

Working-class musicians can still be musicians if they are passionate about it. In fact, as long as people like creating music, there will be music. We don&#039;t need music from people who do so only for the money, we need music from people who are enthusiastic about it. For example, say someone is an engineer. This person does not need to make money from art or music. But he or she does it anyways because there is an idea that he or she wants to express in the art.

Something like that.</description>

		<description>And for those who think Sweden is heading in the right direction. You&#039;re wrong. The law i mentioned above is surely going to pass. We have a capitalist goverment, nothing wrong with capitalism but it sucks when you want to freely fileshare, have any kind of freedom. 

Hey, at least Sweden will be protected from terrorism with the new law, as the goverment now can spy on those encrypted messages that terrorists send. Which they said it was for. Or well, we haven&#039;t really been bothered at all. To think of it, we never ever do anything to upset any country. We were neutral in wars, we shut our mouths when Denmark did their nice muhammed sketch. Well i guess they can spy on filesharers and hot SMS&#039;s instead, as they sit there being bored, doing nothing.

Something Sweden is good at though is obedience, we let the Nazis travel through our country to get an upperhand on Norway, which they wanted to conquer. Now we sit thightley and do what the U.S wants us to. For example the arrest of the Pirate Bay guys. 

Cheers Sweden!</description>

		<description>@65: Earning money on music is not subject to only hoarding copyright for the next friggin 70 years, i mean you must agree. In any case, you are infact telling the artists to &quot;fuck you, i support distribution (=record) companies that rip you off&quot;

Think about alternative revenue models (not ad-funded, that dont work for music imho) and you will see record companies are soooo last-century</description>

		<description>Well that&#039;s cute but i have a strong feeling that Sweden is currently being the U.S lapdog, with the nice new law in motion which allows monitoring of SMS/Internet and so on. The equipment is of course from the U.S. 

Therefore this law, is so not going to go through, wrong goverment, wrong country with passive people.</description>

		<description>You should know that the Left party is a small but important party. When the socialists are in governement (which is the rule, in spite of the current exception) they act as a leftist consience when the socialists go too far to the right. So - even if they are the ex-communist party (and one of the most important issue at their conference was regarding their relationship to Cuba) they are influential.

So - to you americans out there: let this be a lesson about what &#039;left&#039;, &#039;Socialist&#039; and &#039;communist&#039; is really about. It is not the monster you are told about in school...

And - as a side topic - we do speak rather good english. The english-speaking friends I know living in Sweden find it difficult to practice their swedish becaus people always speak english to them...</description>

		<description>Quote @45 - &quot; Music files shared are not kept forever. They are soon outdated and not played anymore, if at all. I only started doing it to validate Internet usage. I wasn&#039;t even listening to music.

      Well, seems you havn&#039;t understood the ideology behind file-sharing. We share coz we love free flow of all kinda information. N the ones we share files with, they share em further.. So even after u die, your files will keep on being shared.. Filesharing is an awesome socializing movement, only if you wanna socialize pal...</description>

<p>      Well, seems you havn&#8217;t understood the ideology behind file-sharing. We share coz we love free flow of all kinda information. N the ones we share files with, they share em further.. So even after u die, your files will keep on being shared.. Filesharing is an awesome socializing movement, only if you wanna socialize pal&#8230;</p>

You forget about the people. The will to legalize it comes from the social, intellectual, and artistic benefits from it. This is the incentive: it will have a positive social influence.

The fact is that big money does not automatically mean big influence. Governments do not automatically favor businessess that make much money for their taxes. For example, tabacoo companies.</description>

		<description>I see this maybe going the same way as CB radio. Illegal because ham operators complained, since they had to pay for a license; until the govts realized so many people used it that they&#039;d be better off legalizing it and charging license fees. Then of course, many still abstained from that system, which also maintained user records and imposed restrictions.

I don&#039;t think it will become unquestionably legal in most places, unless the govts can find a way to enforce a payment scheme, which is not what file sharing is about.

As it is, the music industry must pay taxes on their wealth, so there&#039;s not the incentive to put them out of business, despite their corruption, and artists who sign up keep them in business.</description>
