what the fuck are you talking about?

Information is not a product. It's the ONE thing in this world that can be shared without shrinkage (unlike rice or gasoline).

If you could do the same thing with fuel and food as you could do with information would you stay your hand from copying those indefinitely? Of course not.

Culture will find a way. The onus is on the artist/labels to cope with progress not the other way around.

The funny thing is that Sweden is being taken over by muslims, and people are voting for the pirate party. Still, once you're all living under Sharia law and wearing hijabs,you'll still have your free movies to watch, at least until the Sharia courts copy your hands off that is. Fucking idiots.

Total BS, Swedish movies hardly ever play in the money they cost to produce, they get money from the Government. (the people) and therefore it all goes around eventually.

The thing is that you ppl usualy dont have enough money to buy all the movies they want, while older do but lack the intrest to see them.

Here lye the big problem, why not let everyone pay and watch as much as they want, get founded from the state based on numbers of views their last films got.

I don't like the pirate parties structure and one-question politic attitude.

However, I do agree on parts of their politic. The pirate party have NEVER said that they want to REMOVE the patent laws or the copyright laws. They want to, in what the believe, return them to a less over exaggerated state.

Whatever happened to the artistic muse who inspires art for the sake of art?

Oh yeah, she got a golden Gulfstream jet, lots of bling and hit it off with P. Diddy.

I'll support the artist who deserves it, thank you very much.
