Anti-piracy law cuts Internet traffic in Sweden

article published on 3 April, 2009

Ah nothing like bullying the populace to ensure your antiquated industry remains in business.

Non profit based "sahreing" is a protest against the status quo of media fascism.

LOL @ bullying. These guys are breaking the law. They deserved to be bullied. Actually, I think criminals deserve alot worse than just bullying, but thats a different subject.

30% of Swedish net traffic is devoted to breaking the law. Maybe these people are out riding a bike, reading a book or doing something productive with their minds rather than devoting themselves to criminal acts.

I think this a good thing: 1) less criminals and 2) less traffic for people doing legal/important things.

The Law, he who sets it in place is the one that controls what you do with your life.

The Law protects criminal's and punishes the good people.

The law is a well fabricated lie for a very lawless world.

whether you realize it or not murders will still have fully automatic weapons. Civilians cannot we are barred from having or even owning one.

The corporations run rapid, Stealing from us. yet we can do nothing to stop it as the law protects them.

when are rights are stripped from us completely. the law will be there ready to say you cant have your rights back.

One thing to note: they posted a chart. Whenever some entity posts some kind of graph to back up their assertion, it's usually manipulated data.
