- buugs 17y agoMaybe your missing the point and the youth are convinced of something you don't understand. There a plenty of cases of radical shifts in government and views because of what seems like simple actions and mistakes by a previous government. This should be interesting to see what happens but also serve as a warning to some of the other parts of the EU of what may come if they continue to act in a certain way.
- pavlov 17y agoSweden is "falling apart"? Way to exaggerate... Here's some Nordic news in a similarly credible vein: - Finland's population vanishes entirely due to suicides and domestic knife violence - Norwegian language extinct due to general sulkiness - Iceland disappears into the Atlantic under the weight of Kaupthing Bank's debt - Danes eat too much fatty foods, explode leaving a greasy stain on EU map
- Kollner 17y agoGenerally Swedes are political ignorants, which to some degree is caused by having a (socialist) oppressive media that denies debate about sensitive issues. Instead of discussing something real people turn to completely ridiculous (but safe) topics like gender equality, de-constructing the "idea" of sexes and now copy right laws. So actually, I don't think I am exaggerating. Of course I don't know for sure, but my predication is that by 2025 calls for creation of an islamic state on swedish ground will be a reality. Armed conflict will follow in sweden and other parts of europe. Copyright laws? Who gives a fuck. Buy your music and videos in iTunes store and focus on something real.
- kiba 17y agoCopyright and patent is an anachronism. It needs to go. This is not the mere opinion of a generation. It is also the opinion of neoclassical economists like David Levine, free market anarchists, patent lawyers like Stephen Kinsella, etc. The intellectual framework is already laid down. The Pirate Party is actually moderate in comparsion to those abolisionists but what they proposes will effectively negate the power of copyright forever. From there it is a matter of abolishment of an entire system.
- radu_floricica 17y agoAccording to Hernando de Soto (among others), copyright is the reason for pretty much everything good that happened to the western countries in the last couple of hundred years. And he makes a very convincing case about it, too. The issue is a bit more complicated. The last part of the article was the most interesting. If they can put into law something against commercial lobbying (not a ban of course, but a damper) that could mean changes that are more profound and long term. And might be for the best, too.
- ig1 17y agoI think you're misreading de Soto's work. His argument is about real property rights (land, etc.) rather than intellectual property.
- radu_floricica 17y agoI can't find the quote I was looking for, but it doesn't really matter. Hes argument is that "capitalism" is a thing which is harder to define then it seems at first glance, and it includes various property rights of higher order (i.e. I don't only own my house, I also own the right to sell/rent/mortgage/use as collateral). Copyright fits right in. Anyways, my point was that it would be dangerous to mess with an important part of this "capitalism" without understanding how it works. It is true that extending copyright and patent inflation stifle, to a degree, original research. Is even more true that abolishing them would instantly kill all significant private original research.
