I hope Swedish government is not brain dead enough to harass its own citizens on behalf of corporate parasites.
- I guess we got a lot of education to do on topix of OpSec!
  Paying your opressors is for bootlickers IMHO
  
  Surprised VPNs aren't illegal there either
- Lets call most of our population criminals and have them sit next to each other in jail sharing file sharing techniques.
  But being realistic, it depends on how far into the future the political party would like to keep winning votes.
Let’s talk after they start arresting studio execs for sending fraudulent DMCA takedowns.
Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this "Rights Alliance" group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.
This is yet more "one rule for them and one rule for everyone else" from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won't pay into their state-enforced protection racket.
Hopefully the government realizes that the loss of profit from piracy is usually zero, because the people downloading usually won't even buy the game
- Governments rarely realize anything related to IP that the copyright mafia doesn't spoon-feed them, unfortunately.
  
  I've always thought that was a more exclusive US government thing
I wonder how much money gets spent on all this vs how much it would cost to just not suck major ass. Neither approach is going to eliminate piracy, but at least trying to attract more flies with honey wouldn't send more people to the black sails purely out of spite lol
- At this point I will never again respect IP, the phoniest of all property. Get bent propertarians!
