Sweden objects to the harsh slander of being associated with Oslo, Norway, as purported by this video.
Theres no doubt in our minds that this is yet another ploy from the Finland/Denmark conspiracy in attempt to discredit the magnificent royal democratic communist monarchy of Sweden, and our benevolent dictator Lars Ohly.
Reached for comment, Lars Ohly added that: "The Danes have been a bit Pissy since we landgrabbed them, and the Finns still hold a grudge since we used them to shield off the Sovjet invasion; but frankly, we just dont give a sh*t."
The problem is not however piracy is in the end good or bad for the legimate buisiness of IP sales..
The problem is the almost complete disregard for IP in the first place.. How many really respect
the IP-holders enough not to copy their stuff?
I can fire my anecdotes on how my path of piracy
could possible be linked to the fact that my dvd-purchases has skyrocked during roughly the same period of time.
But its not out of a growing respect for IP,
but rather because I happend to enjoy the added value of having a Futurama boxset instead of a dvd-r with all the episodes..
So the only way to combat piracy, is
to gain (back?) that respect of IP, (or call it even by fear of retribution)
or by enhancing the value of the bought product.
I think this is the reason why dvd's are less threatened than cd's;
a cd is just an archaic version of a >100mb folder with mp3's, where dvds offer higher quality, extras, audio commentary etc etc
DVDs will face the same faith once the treshold of piracy reaches the same ease as with CDs.
By that time, I guess they'd like worldwide respect(fear) or at least increased value enough to save their sales.
