Swedes with backbone

I loooooooooooove it!

The Swedes @ Pirate bay and the independent new political party of Pirate Party are taken a stand against MPAA and copyright organisations.

Absolutely brilliant and rather unexpected to see it coming from Sweden. But then again, Sweden has a long tradition of Freedom of Information – it is just the back bone bit that could be better.

Just maybe the little insignificant country in the North can trap up the mighty USA & MPAA. I certainly hope so!!

You have to read the responses from Pirate Bay to Microsoft, Apple etc – click here. So, so, so funny!

Wired News wrote a great article about this – click here.

Bit torrent (or what ever the future format will be) will not go away and the more to use it the stronger it will get.

There are several reasons why bit torrent is so damn good:

TV/Film On demand – you watch it when you want

No ads

The entire industry with TV, Movie, Software etc are doing the outmost to rip their customers off. For the first time the customers have leverage and are happy using it.

I am not going to pay anymore for some superstar’s coke habit/jet/entourage. Who do they think are paying for all of that? YOU do.

I can pause the film/TV program when ever I want

I can convert to my PSP and watch it @ lunch time.

I can watch it a second, third or several times before deleting the file.

I did a legal download once, never again – it is in this blog post:
