Are music sales in Sweden going up, or down? I'd be interested to know.

I found this very interesting. Grab this via P2P if you can.

Humans are not herbivorous.

Humans may choose to be vegetarian, and it can be a very healthy diet.
Never met an obese vegetarian? I have. Obesity is related to exercise as well as diet. It's the old 'energy taken in versus energy used up' equation.
Wow, there are some stone faced and sharp pointed pyramids in the UK after all:

Yo! I found a European pyramid!

Ah yes, CSI.

I take your point.

Well, at least they'd get some honesty points.

Change your settings and drop the subject, and you're set.
I was reading about the evil Bill Gates, when suddenly the thread became all about the evil Steve Jobs.
You have to suspect the motives of those who jump in to discuss the polar opposite of the subject of the thread.

much obliged
I really want to boot from a USB pen drive. The file downloaded OK and the CD booted OK.

Rightclick desktop and choose "Applications, INSERT, usb-install"
Now a confusing choice, which device: hdx/sdx/ubx?
UBX -> "Error creating EXT2 filesystem"
SDX -> seems to have overwritten my hard drive (no matter, it's a test PC)
HDX -> leave this for later
I think this PC has: sdc, sda1, sda5, sdb1, and sdc - might it be one of those?
Or can you help me use fdisk to check my USB device name? I managed to get a CLI and type "fdisk" in, but there's syntax to puzzle over. I tried a few things but nothing really got anywhere.
Many thanks
Thanks for typing that in. I wish I had points to mod your post up.

The numbers you mention don't seem hugely worse than other countries. Here's hoping Sweden doesn't stop being different
Quick Precis:

1) That's theft!
2) No, copywrite infringement.
3) It's legal in Sweden anyway.
I wonder if CD sales are down over there? It's good their example gives us something to learn, either way.
"The sad part is that a large number of slashdotters will convince themselves that this type of thing is good despite the fact that the site is very clearly engaged in theft." Is it a good thing? This free advertising may be just what Swiss kids need to find what DVD they should get, what album they should buy. Are music sales in Sweden going up, or down? I'd be interested to know.
So, how are movie houses doing in Sweden, and CD sales etc?
Are the music shops are all bankrupt and no-one makes music in Sweden? Or are their artists actually making more sales due to these 'free samples'?
It'd be interesting to know.
We weren't "running around unlocking accounts", because we switched that rule off. As is plainly stated in my original post.
I got an ad from the third search:
