Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing

Posted by kdawson on from the pirate-party-platform dept.

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."

    Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Let's destroy a huge portion of the world's ability to feed their families so some kids don't have to pay for music and software anymore. Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that. I NEED MY ENTERTAINMENT, DAMMIT!
