Hell, it works for the banks over there so why not with movies and music too. The RIAA better take notice, as I can see this spreading to other countries because of popularity. If can't beat piracy, why not join them?

This is how the law should be. It currently is in Canada, tho our prime minister would love to change that bill this month. Good for Switzerland.

Somewhat funnily, the study also says copyright holders should adapt to their present situation where piracy is a fixture.
The history of computers goes something like this:
The inventors opened the doors and revealed the very first computer to the world. Five minutes later, somebody used it to copy something they weren't supposed to.
The two go hand-in-hand. Trying to prosecute the world for digitally reproducing anything is a fool's errand and will cause more problems than it solves.
When laws allow unlimited ownership of ideas, it is to a society as iron fusion is to the core of a star.
When verified realities lead us to anger, we must learn to reevaluate our beliefs.

Still would see something done about all that advertisement money being made, other than that go Sweden!
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.
