What is super frustrating is that the industry has talked the Swedish government into puting a tax on all media (harddrives, usb memory, CDs, tapes and so on). This tax is supposed to pay for private copying, a leftover from the mix-tape days. We still pay this tax on all media and it goes directly to the industry but we still can't copy media between friends because of DRM. In general DRM should not be allowed here.
