Swiss Gov't: Downloading Movies and Music Will Stay Legal

Posted by timothy on from the wish-that-sanity-was-contagious dept.

wasimkadak writes "One in three people in Switzerland download unauthorized music, movies and games from the Internet, and — since last year — the government has been wondering what to do about it. This week their response was published, and it was crystal clear. Not only will downloading for personal use stay completely legal, but the copyright holders won't suffer because of it, since people eventually spend the money saved on entertainment products."

    What if you pirate $100 worth of music and spend $100 on blow jobs from thai lady boys? Both you and the lady boy win.
