Common, wake up Swedish people, you should not put up with this let´s get involved send letters to politicians this bad!
Ask him how many resources they have the rampant identity theft in Sweden
File sharing more important than rape
File sharing more important than child pornography
File sharing more important than pedophiles
File sharing more important than fighting drugs
File sharing more important than policing the trouble neighborhoods
after all the above mentioned problems only affect you and me, while file sharing affects very rich people from buying their next car, buying expensive whores, suppressing governments, passing crappy laws,cheating on their spouses, trying to suppress the internet, getting a nice big brother like state, getting corrupt judges, bribing politicians and other important things that you and i cannot understand, we are just supposed to pay for it.
Umm, pirate party anyone?
Im just glad there is filesharing, maybe these untalented mongoloids on big labels get payed a bit less, less money for theyre stupid badly decorated cribs and no money to buy anymore beamers and hummers. These so called artists are laughing to the bank, what are they getting payed for huh?
Right turning on soulseek now, come get me mp3 police! you wont find any 50 cent or mariah carey tho.
oh i read the whole story, so what with counterfitting, the stuff they produce can be just as good as the original, but maybe not memory cards and stuff but still theyre cheap! Probably made in the same factory conditions too.
Do you think the board members of Prada give a rats if they catch a criminal in Sweden for identity theft or rape, all they care about is their money!
Its a Robin Hood v Sheriff of Nottingham situation and I back Robin.
Very sad that the Govt.sees fit to waste resources helping the big companies feather their luxury nests instead of doing something more useful and constructive to help Joe Public.
Should the police go after drug dealers or rather spotty teens downloading Agnes. Rapists or instead a woman on parental leave who downlaods episodes of Friends? Paedophiles or else an old man whos grandson downloaded Transformers because it hasn't been released in Sweden yet??
Counterfeit goods are not the cause of child labour! It is obvious who you people work for!
