european piracy laws

BBC NEWS | Technology | Europe votes on anti-piracy laws

i think they are going a bit overboard but it doesn't affect me so I'm fine with it.

Interesting. This is completely my bag when it comes to the law. I wrote a paper last semester on illegal downloading and all that jazz. (And I aced that motha! w00t!)

This is particularly interesting for how it may affect Sweden's current copyright laws (or lack thereof) which allows for sites such as one started by Piratbyrån to exist immune from the multitudes of international legal threats they have received. There's no doubt that something should be done to protect copyrights, but I am against the approach of making something that's not illegal a crime. It kind of has an aire of "anti-marijuana laws" to it.

This has been in the works for a while now, luckily it doesn't affect me. I've never uploaded a song/anything to any file sharing site (does image hosting count?!) and I never intend to.

The day file sharing ends is the day the Internet dies, simple as that.

Yep, they have already tried to make examples out of people and it just keeps spawning more and more ways to be able to do it. Not too worried about it :D.
