Well, not being allowed to run any entrepreneurial business in Soviet was about “legality” too.

“Maybe it was something else lol….but sure as shit, those people didn;t fight so you could sit on your ass al day downloading copy-written music, videos, games and software.”

Quite true. Those people fought so that we could have basic rights of privacy and communication.

If we have basic rights of privacy and communication then we can indeed sit on our asses downloading whatever all day long. The one inescapably brings the other. In claiming otherwise you are simply hip-deep in denial, cruising blithely through la-la land.

Just about the only thing you are correct in claiming is that Sweden did not fight. It rolled over and had it’s military guarding German prisoner transports going to and from Norway.

It’s, for me, a good thing I have ancestry in other nordic countries where resistance was functional then.

> “ya but…. pirates DO want stuff for free”

The desire to save money has nothing to do with being a pirate, it has to do with being a sane capitalist, attempting to use one’s limited assets as economically as possible. No sane capitalist would wanna waste his money on buying something which he could manufacture himself for free with the equipment he’s already purchased. Being a pirate simply means you follow the free market rules.

Well, you could start with GWDT. I certainly enjoyed the trilogy (paid of course). But then what ? You’ve got one well known recent film so far. You could try to add another 20 of course but as a country, you’re not making a dent in “real output” regardless of “per capita” or any other useless stat you might want to come up with.

Where is Rick wrong ? …Where did I say he was wrong to “demand” something ?. He (just like anyone) can demand laws apply equally online and offline, I dont see anyone saying he cant. So what are you talking about ?

One interesting point….I noticed that he did say

“we demand our children inherit the civil liberties that our parents fought, bled and often died to give to us. It’s an entirely reasonable demand.”

Our parents ? hmm….so WW2 I’m guessing………wasn’t Sweden neutral throughout the whole of ww2….meaning the parents and grandparents that Rick is referring to…..they can’t be Swedish because they didn’t fight for anything….other peoples did, just saying ;)
