The only thing its missing is quotes like "Mr yellow, was in charge of" and other hollywood fictional character or slang references.
I am sure they wanted to add crack towers like new jack city and uzi's.
Escape from Solna staring Rurt Kussel.
Hmm lets see maybe the drug cartels and gang violence, or maybe prostitution. If it has to be related to cyberspace then can they not spend more time finding and punishing these internet 'predators' that pretend they are proffessional photographers, who search for under age boys and girls to have sex with (see yesterdays aftonbladet)
a few computer nerds sharing movies and music is NOT more important than all the sex predators out there.
GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT !!!!!!!!

When people get räped, its only the person who gets räped and sometimes the people around them whose lives are affected.
Drug dealers and cartels are just too hard to go after and their "product" just affects the people down the line.
On the other hand, when people download music and movies, they p!ss off large corporations who have paid tens/hundreds of millions to extend copyright, bästårdize it far from its intended purpose, limit consumers rights via copyright and DRM... but more importantly have paid cartloads to corrupt politicians and have maneuvered laws, courts and judges for their own benefit.
Last I checked: molested kids, rape victims and drug pushers have not contributed even a small percentage in "campaign funds", outright bribes, "gifts" and "perks", and media FUD like the movie and music _cartels_ have - and now they want to see some results for money paid/spent.
This is it.

Yell all you want but these are the facts. Sorry.
