Indeed. The record industry sanctioned alternatives, including services like Spotify, have been growing in popularity since long before the IPRED law. They continue to grow at roughly the same rate. Only relative to the non-sanctioned downloads have they grown significantly, and seriously, this is probably just a bump in the graph. This is not sensational news.

Sweden has one of the biggest watching Brothers in the world. We've been registered for hundreds of years - first by the church, then by the state. We don't need to register ourselves to vote - the state knows if we are qualified. Most of us don't need to do our taxes, just send an SMS to confirm that the numbers are correct - the state already knows how much we've earned, how much we own, and how much we've got saved in bank accounts and shares.
And we trust Big Brother. We've voted for the social democrats for the most part the last hundred years. Parties win elections by promising tax raises. We trust Big Brother.
We're seen as a copyright safe haven because our laws are not yet draconian, but it's all a process. Our anti-commercialism of course plays a role here. Big scary USA companies want to create and enforce laws in Sweden? No way!
Still, people don't see Big Brother as Big Brother watching, but rather as Big Brother making things easier and helping us when we need him. That's probably why this law has become so controversial. It does not help Swedish citizens. We're not afraid of "terrorism". Our government can't pull that crap on us.
Sure. Just read an article. Congratulations, now you've received your share, since you've used the bandwidth, processing power and storage of Wikipedia, which are things that cost money.
That's because people need to type "cp" five thousand times a day. Having to type "pleasecopythefilesiwillspecifymrcomputer" every times you need to copy files would be a pain in the arse. But you pretty much never need to type "ntoskrnl.exe", so "ntoskernel.exe" would be quite okay to have to type.
It has mass. Mass (together with speed) is what causes momentum, which causes the counterweight to want to continue forward instead of orbiting around the Earth.
The results do speak for themselves. They say: "This is a web poll, and we have basically no control over who votes and how many times, nor did we pass Statistics 101 or know how to draw even vaguely scientific conclusions from the results."
The HTTP spec says that a GET should not perform anything, i.e. not change data. This is why "delete" hyperlinks should at least have an "are you sure" page with a posting form before actually deleting anything. Just a hint for your next project!
This is why the theory of relativity is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more gammas or some other kludge, like gravitation being the same as acceleration.
This is why Newtonian physics is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more integrals or some other kludge, like momentum being preserved.
This is why bakery is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more meal or some other kludge, like lowering the temperatur of the oven.

Uralic languages lack grammatical gender. In e.g. Finnish, there is only one word for he and she: hän .

You mean it makes you a lunatic?
So you have both bosses and female bosses?

It sounds to me like paying protection money to a botnet would be like paying protection money to the mafia.
So open source is viral and closed source is cancerous? What happens if I just use my computer as a door stop? Will I catch Ebola?
We'll have to get the best of help! Somebody call Dick Dastardly and Muttley!

I vote for Mac OS X - Because the processor already communicates fluently with the Aqua interface.

255's and 240's everywhere! It was horrible! And I think I saw a 257!
You've better look out for my slutty undead mage, she'll get you with her burning ring of fire. And it burns burns burns...
The original poster's joke was probably that Slashdot used to block the W3C validator. It does not anymore, however.

"Red Hat" means "Rode Hatred" in Swedish. That's a strange name, almost offensive.
But oh, I'm sorry, it has to be in English to be accepted!
Which means people who believe Symantec will use IE, which as we all know will lead to more infections and a larger need for - guess what - NAV.
