    Atleast they don't have to worry about high defence lawyer costs as the swedish state pays for all those costs.

          IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO DONATE TO ANY SORT OF FUND FOR US. NONE OF THOSE ARE OFFICIAL AND YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE AWAY MONEY. WE WILL NOT NEED FINANCIAL HELP AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THE STATE WILL NEED TO PAY OUR EXPENSES FOR NOW.

            Do they even have copyright laws in Sweden? LOL... I've noticed that just about every keygen I come across (not like I use them...) is made in Sweden...

              I respect all four of these people, they have been around for a few years now and the know how to work the system with their expertise, methods and wisdom.

              They have been a thorn in the MPAA side for a long time and audio control groups as well, I hope they continue to stick it to the groups that want to control your digital back-up.

              I hope they come out on top as they have in the past. From my viewpoint these pirites are the good guys.

                Yeah, same here... I should move to Sweden and vote for the Pirate Party (whatever it is it's called, but I know they have one...)

                Except I could live without the porn ads

                  In the latest election (Sep 2006) they got 0,63% of the votes, 34 918 votes, became the third largest party outside the swedish parliament.

                      If you would get convicted you will also get a T-shirt with the text "I was convicted for filesharing and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

                          Happy New Year

                          2008 is going to be a fascinating year. We will see the locking mechanisms of DRM become a thing of the past, we will see Amazon get up to 25% of the Digital market, we will see the average price of downloads begin to decrease in price, maybe hit $0.79 by year's end as other major players such as Ebay enter the market. Apple will start signing Artists as will Telco's and other non Music business entities. Advertising revenues online will grow by 300%, PURLS ( Personal URL's) will get traction, driven by niche markets such as dog enthusiasts; actually, any enthusiasts.

                          The BNL cruise will be amazing. On amazing, WOW to the Weepies for delivering big time and right on top of huge December digital sales due to awesome placements from Julie! We have a lot of great music coming this year, probably the most exciting year ever for Nettwerk. OK enough of that......some more thoughts on the Music space.

                          There is a lot of debate these days about the "value of music" in the digital space. The itunes model seems to be the most widely accepted metric associated to the value of a song (79p or $0.99). Now if one was to extrapolate this value across the whole spectrum of the digital music space then the real economic value is in fact around 8p or $0.10 a song. After all, the legal market for consumed digital media is approximately 10% of the whole, the other 90% is apparently free. The Music business is so focused on the 10% of the market, it's almost like the other 90% is a dark force to be fought by an army of lawyers, when in fact it's a market waiting to be monetized. I think there is a tipping point here when the legal cost of music hits a certain price point, which I think is around 15-18p or $0.20- 0.25, then we will start to capture the majority of the digital music spectrum, maybe as much as 75-90%. If you do the math with 50% of the market place at this lower price point we are at today's economic level, anything above that is a gain. This same thought process could be applied to subscription models with the same results. Simply look at the continued success of E-music and the dramatic results that Rhapsody had awhile back when they tested a short term sizable price reduction. I also believe the lower cost will drive full album sales and greater consumer consumption overall.


                          There will be many who take exception to this point of view, especially those who see the value of a song as being higher and have a need to control not only that perceived value but also how it's consumed. Some record companies, Publishers, Managers and Artists will cry foul. To this I propose a simple thought, who actually owns the song? Legally in most cases the Labels and Publishers will claim they do, of course Artists morally will claim they do. I say none of the above.........so who? LOL

                            You have to love this country. Nothing is done as it should.

                            This policeman - Jim Keyzer



                            who conducted and was in charge of the pretrial hearing/investigation got a new job in the movie company Warner Brothers (one of the parts in the trial) - just months after it had been done.

                            Now the whole pretrial hearing/investigation - that took more than 1.5 years to conduct might has to be redone due to challenge. Do I need to mention that the time for the trial has not been set yet.

                              The status right now is that all the four prosecuted have been served and the court is now ready to schedule the trial. The defence wants the damage claim to be lifted out of the criminal trial and run that as a separate trial. The court is to rule on that.

                              The police man who investigate the law suit and then began to work for Warner Brothers is now back as a police man. He is perhaps more of use to investigate this type of crimes in the police force according to Warner Brothers? But who on earth can take any of his investigations seriously now?
