"Sweden has a low piracy rate but remains an area of
concern because it is considered a safe haven for P2P
Internet piracy sites. [...] It is estimated that more than 20 percent of these top
sites are hosted in Sweden. One of them, the BitTorrent
hub called "PirateBay," is one of the most trafficked
Web sites in the world."
They can't even spell thepiratebay correctly.
"Factors helping to lower piracy - Technical advances: Digital rights management,
embodied in programs like Microsoftâ(TM)s Windows
Genuine Advantage, will lower piracy by encouraging
customer self-audits and by offering services not
available to users of non-legal software."
I had to laugh at that.
Oh great, more bullshit that people have to deal with.
I bought an IBM laptop 4 years ago, removed the hidden IBM partition, formatted & reinstalled XP and it starts throwing that WGA nagware at me.
Fast forward a few hours, I change to pirated XP. No problems for the next few years. Until I decide to reinstall XP, but as a legit copy. Guess what? Illegal!
Thanks Microsoft, I'll stick to pirated XP copies that don't treat me like a retard.

I was just about to mention this. Adblock Plus is OSS, so there's nothing stopping people from creating a fork if they're so inclined.
