Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing
dot-magnon writes "The Liberal Party of Norway (Venstre) passed a unanimous resolution that advocates legal file sharing. The party wants to legalise sharing of any copyrighted material for non-commercial use. It also proposes a ban on DRM technology, free sampling of other artists' material, and shortening the life span of copyright. The Liberal Party is the first Norwegian political party, and the first European mainstream political party, to advocate file sharing. The Liberal Party's youth wing proposed the resolution."

Leave the kid alone, he's in his "Everything American sucks" phase, and so isn't capable of making rational statements about such matters. Most college/university students go through it, regardless of nationality or location.
He'll outgrow it, eventually.

There's a representative from the Ankh-Morpork guild of musicians here, he wants to talk to your kneecaps.
