I dont fully agree with Pirat Partiet on their views regarding copyrights, specifically I fear that artists, programmers and writers can get rolled by some pimpled teenager with a grudge.
"So, you wrote a book and now it is published across the globe. I dont give a fuck if it took you 3 years to write while working extra just to stay alive.".
That is my main concern, but I also agree that most patents for example stiffle competition and if anyone belives that a simple inventor has a chance to protect his/her patent in court against a global corporation... well dream on.
Also, take software for example. You still cant lagally create a copy of for example Windows95 (I know... its just an example), but the company that created it is not supplying it to the market.
A work is either worth something and then you sell it, or it is worthless (my Win95 example fits in here) and then you should give it away. You should not have the option to prevent anyone from access if they are prepared to pay for it.

FU Moderaterna, yesterday you started the journey out of government. It is clear that you are out of touch with your own voters and I should know since I was one of them. Fredrik Reinfelt did not dare to be accociated with passing this law, I know. Let the others in the party get the blame, chicken.
Although I can relate to your great-great-grandfathers preferences, I still dont understand why he was kicked out? We generally like norwegian girls over here:-)
P.S. Yes, feel free to pass any information on to mr Reinfelt directly. If your message passes the swedish border, you will simply be helping the collection to become more efficent.
We are listening to your objections
Kind regards FRA - Sweden
Swedens parliament vote on massive bugging today
on
Understanding Privacy
·
· Score: 1
If the new law is approved, then what I call Sweden and swedish values die today along with our privacy.
The vote is today, and despite massive protests it looks like this law will pass. How do you feel about the right to private conversations and messages? Not important? Well read no further.
If you do care and realize that this will roll right across Europe into every single country:
Please help us by visiting our parliaments website [www.riksdagen.se]. We dont even mind if you have to visit several times.
The question posed to the public was:
"Should members of parliament vote in favour of the surveillance law even if they don't believe it is right for Sweden?".
Resluts:
* Yes, they have a duty to respect party policy : 2%
* No, they should have the courage of their convictions: 98%
You may think the poll question is very biased, but... it is a very common argument from swedish members of parliaments: "I dont like it but I have to follow the party opinion"
