    He finally realized what a dirty, thieving bastard he was trying to get everybody to be. It's about god damned time one of them relented. Artists and others who work hard for a living and create things that enhance your lives every single day deserve to make a living. You are not entitled to the sweat of their brows or all the time out of their lives that it takes to actually learn how to play an instrument, become a good actor, etc. Sorry to break the news to you.

    come on, I make joke.

    but you know, we all know what this joke relates to. a year ago, it would not have made sense.

    I now think of sweden as a 'high risk' country; meaning, women can sue youor have you arrested easily if you look at them thee wrong way.

    good going, sweden.

    sigh.
