i fail to see broadband even being developed or used if not for pirating. most of the broadband users have broken copy-right laws, and i fail to see why the public needs to be punished for it and limited when copy-right/owners and certain scenes needs to change together with the world. why restrict when you can evolve? i generaly hate copy-right in all forms as its the main limiting factor for pc developments etc. just look at microsoft =D noone else have any chance of doing anything, Linux cant evolve and be compatible because of copy-right, no other operating system will be compatible. DirectX is copy-righted so games cant be run in Linux as most requires it etc. copy-right shouldnt exist in the software world at all imo. or atleast not as it does today…
i wish the swedish pirate party did something more towards this direction too instead of hunting down downloaders.. i think the anti- factor should be replaced with lets solve this so everyones happy and we can continue to evolve the internet. =D

Very extreme, 5 years is too short. Not all copyright holders are giant corporations with fat wallets, trying to screw the public.

Nice idea, and good start, hopefully this American party also will work to protect peoples integrity like the Swedish party do.

But I have my strong doubt that they ever will get a chance to join the gang in US senate since USA is not a democracy, its a two party system country.

There is no doubt that copyright laws need to be revised, and by that I do not mean made even more insanely restrictive. When you can potentially clap someone in jail for years because they videotape a movie in a theater with a shaky handheld cam, something is definitely rotten. Whatever happened to government for the people and by the people?

5 years is way too short, though. Especially authors will get shafted that way, they make money for years during re-releases etc, and their families should receive the money after the authors death. Most authors produce the cream of their work towards the end of their lives, after all. In fact, there wasn’t that much wrong with copyright as it was envisioned in the 19th century by Thomas Babington Macaulay and his contemporaries – it is only lately it has gone completely haywire.
