well franky, i wouldn't want the copyright to be removed either, yet i see nothing wrong if i copy a CD for my brother. Yes it's liek stealing, but still... if you dont' do it then why develope such technologies. Then again maybe by doing this you also share knowledge on the CD.

Just think of how odd it is when you have an old Spectrum game (they odnt' even make the maschines anymore) and the only way ot get the game is to copy it, donwload it form net. But that's illegal! cause they have 50 or is it 80 years of copyrights. so i should wait untill i am laying on my deathbed so that finnaly i can download (legaly) the spectrum game i want to replay? i dont' think so. copyright is good, but not like this. Imagine if the guy who invented the wheel held international copyrights and that they could be extended!
Or imagine that you don't have any generic drugs (which are legal, but cheaper), but original is too expencive to afford. Why should one keep all his knowledge to himself and then die with it?

Also libraries come into mind.... Cheap yearly rent and you can get all the book you want. this is simply not the case with computer porgrammes or movies. why not???

Many questions could be discussed with this so called "piracy".

Actualy, THEY don't do anything illigal, but the users do.
They are affiliated with the piracy-oranication/lobby here.

They do have the law on theire side, as they don't actualy host anything but tiny text-files that aren't themselves copyrighted.

The actualy file-sharing is still illigal, both to share and retrive.. and store... and use ofc.

Well obvioulsy every form of p2p(except Napster ) has survived through these "holes" in the legal system...

In Sweden the people got many free time and good living standars.

Anyway, P2P network sharing will continue no matter what the swedish law said. In any country if u are procecuted by support P2P sharing, illegaly tracking systems are no allowed as prouf for a judge(maybe yes if law can be buyed like Argentina or if law is doctrinal law like Israel). The copyright in music isn´t so important, new artist look it like the way to become massive even when loosing millons in cd, they could get it back in live shows. The music industry is more like be for Copyright protection lobby, not musics. The Copyright system should be removed in medicinal areas by sure, maybe still not in other areas.

getting rid of copyright would be a terrable thing!
no innovations would be made, everyone would steal ideas..
nono i like copyright

I don´t think that, right now everyone would steal ideas to get the copyright income from them. Without copyright, the innovations won´t be stoped, maybe private research will be reduced but private research means research at service of money. Public research will ocuppy most of researchers and will be not market manipulation
