"The Norwegian party Venstre (socialist liberal) has proposed that all illegal file sharing should be legalized. They haven’t put much thought behind the populist proposal and the rationale is basically that since the music is there people should be allowed to consume it freely...
So, in response to this the Norwegian metal band ENSLAVED took a cab out to the Venstre party leader’s farm (he happens to be a sheep farmer) and "downloaded a sheep" with the same kind of motivation: free roaming sheep are available and should be consumed! The sheep was then brought back to the Norwegian parliament, quite an effective statement."
Actually this is quite old, but still makes me ROFL
np Farsot - IIII

But hey, GO VENSTRE!
There is a difference between stealing a book from a shop, than to copy every page in it, and taking the copies home to read.
Isn't it?
Not gonna stop me downloading though of course!
It's only a copy, it's not something you stole from someone!
Btw, the law has bad eyes then :<
of course that doesnt stop me downloading^^
They calculate like, if I download a LP of an artist in an illegal way, then I had bought it without "Filesharing". But I guess this is only matching for 1 % per cent of the downloaded software/music.
The opposite is true, due to the possibility to download music for free, it`s much easier to explore new, good music, which u never had explored without this possibility. And if I really like some artist, I buy his LP.
