it would be political suicide by the elites if they tried to stop it

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

They are not trying to stop it. They are just writing useless laws to placate the Americans and music business interests. They have no intention to stop filesharing, they only want to look good for the above mentioned interests.

They will start being much more agressive after the elections, just like in France, they're not that stupid, they've obviously bargained with the governments involved: just a few before to show it's "bad", full scale after elections.

Remember it's not the government but the USA labels that sue directly citizens.

Re: Elections in Sweden (none / 0)

Who is the government supposed to look good in front of? The Americans and the entertainment multinationals, or the Swedish public?

Also, when people have to go to jail for a useless law, don't you think there's something wrong somewhere?
