First Swede Convicted For File-Sharing Now Cleared
Caine writes, "A 29-year old Swede, who was the first to be convicted under last year's new file-sharing laws, has been cleared on appeal. The court of appeal did not consider the screen dumps provided by the Antipiracy Bureau enough evidence to be able to convict the man. Since the crime does not carry a high enough punishment under Swedish law to allow for a search of the defendant's house, this means it will be virtually impossible to prove file-sharing crimes in the future."
Yeah like suicide rate?

You will not last long in Uppsala Sweden, the taxes are high and language barriers will prevent you from getting a date or a job. Forget about visa issues.
It would be like the police being allowed to shoot people they see speeding.
This reminds me of an amusing conversation I had with an American a few years ago. It went something like this:
Me: The local police in the UK often don't carry guns.
American: What? That's terrible!
Me: People here think it's a good thing.
American: But what if they see someone stealing something, for instance, and then they run away. How do they stop them?
Me: The policeman runs after them and tries to catch them.
American: But what if the criminal runs faster?
Me: They get away.
American: That's dumb.
Me: So a policeman in the USA would shoot a shoplifter if they ran away?
American: If they didn't stop, I guess they would.
Me: That's dumber.
Potatoes?
