Sweeden reconizes file sharing as a religion.

Currently pondering how I can move there.

Article

What's next, Jashinism?

Wow. I have my doubts that that will ever be recognized here in the States...:unsure:

It makes complete sense. I have noticed that its most avid proponents tend to share all the classical hallmarks of more fundamentalist brands of organized religion; the self-justification of socially objectionable actions by appeal to some higher (or more evolved) morality, a pervasive sense of superiority over those who don't abide by their tenets, and a sense of being perpetually victimized at the hands of a narrow-minded society.

Spreading the word.. Errr files?

Gosh you Swedish people. Tsk tsk.

*remembers my friend SuXrys is Swedish*

I MEAN.. Swedish people are soo kewl. Yeah, woohoo.

Well, the sharing of copyrighted material is still illegal, which is all that matters to me.

Whatever. I dance under the moon and hug tree as part of my religion. If sharing files makes one happy, good for them.

Thou shalt copy thy neighbour pr0n.

lulz

Now, if only Norway are to follow this trend, I would swap my religion in an instant.

It may be illegal, but it's become virtually impossible to get caught doing that in Sweden. What happened was quite ironic. The government passed a law that gave courts the ability to demand all the information ISPs keep on a particular IP address in misdemeanor crimes such as copyright infringement (used to be just felonies). The ISPs saw this as a violation of their customers personal integrity, and simply started deleting their logs as soon as they have served their billing purpose (it started with just one ISP, but then the competitive ISP market in Sweden forced the others to follow suit).

So now the courts can't tell who owns a particular IP address anymore. In any crime. It's almost cartoonish how badly that law backfired.

thats absurd

Really? You guys are gonna nitpick about a typo? Not to mention, @aerophobia , if you're going to nit pick about a typo, don't forget something like a capitalization.

Wow lol. It was a joke and not at all serious in anyway. Since your little troll buddy liked what you said maybe you were just told to say such a thing to be an annoyance to me? I have nothing against you and I was only just fooling so there is no need to go all perfecting my sentences trying to start an argument as it seems.

His little troll buddy? Are you seriously acting like a pathetic child because I disposed of your argument like last weeks dead plants? Oh, god, grow up and accept your mistakes.

I'll make one statement and that is all. So you say I'm the one being a pathetic child? Lets review then shall we?
1. You argued even after i said i was done with you.
2.You disposed of the argument? I was the one that stopped and disposed of it because I'm the bigger man
3. Once again you don't know how to read. I did admit that i made mistakes, i just pointed out how petty you were being in correcting silly mistakes like not capitalizing my "i".
I'm done.

Lol, You kept posting even after you said you were done. You didn't follow your own statement, genius.

I disposed of your argument, and made you look highly unintelligent while doing so.

Need I remind you that you turned around, and started doing the same exact thing? And you didn't admit your mistake, you accused GameGeeks of trolling by extension.

LOL, everywhere i go the hungry troll follows. Everything i said was true. I said I didn't want to argue anymore but you continued and I had to throw in a couple more comments and then i was finally done. I'm having trouble figuring out if you are just this big of a troll or you are just really dumb. I said "let me be like you for a second" and then gave you a sarcastic comment on something you misspelled. I know i said I was only going to post once but I guess I had to post this.

Done yet? Because following me around being a petty child and starting arguments is quite annoying.
Now I'm truly done speaking to you. If you continue to argue you will only be proving that the point i made is correct.

@GameGeeks
It was truly just a silly comment. I didn't say you were dumb for misspelling anything or insult you in any way. I just said I was annoyed by it. My post was not serious at all and I did not mean to offend. I have no problem with you whatsoever and I really did like this thread lol. I do obviously have a problem with your friend there though. It seems he enjoys picking fights and since I do not know you i saw you guys liking each others posts and having each other added then i only assumed you might be trying to just annoy me because of something he told you. I do apologize though if you were not trying to be annoying with him. I guess that's about all I have to say here.

BAWW, I'M BEING TROLLED SOMEONE SAVE ME. Is that your default argument? I'm losing, therefore I am being trolled. I've been called out for being hypocritical, therefore I was just joking and the opposite party is too serious.

You're still, still, STILL, replying, and therefore are obviously not done.

Even if I was trolling, I've already proven that I'm quite a bit more intelligent than you; which, frankly, isn't saying much.

There was nothing ironic about that post; it wasn't sarcastic in the slightest. And, I have to say that I was right that you would respond. I should work for the Psychic Hotline, damn I'm good.

Oh, wow, a quote from a rap singer that is entirely baseless.

You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates.- Richard Nixon

Following you around? Oh, dear, it seems we've entered the paranoia stage.

Now, for everyone reading, this is a lovely case of Don't-reply-or-you-lose. He's trying to to say that just because I'm replying, I'm validating his argument, which doesn't actually make sense, because his argument is that I'm a troll(or something to that nature). To validate his argument, I'd have to specifically try to illicit an emotional response from him, regardless of anything else. As his emotional state doesn't interest me, I think we can conclude that I'm not trolling. What does tickle my fancy is his tendency to become hyper-defensive in the event of any criticism.

By the way, does anyone know if torrenting A Game of Thrones, before it came out on Blu-Ray, and then purchasing it on blu-ray, when it comes out, would disqualify or qualify one for federal prison?

Losing an arguement?
Claim someone is a troll.


@TAA:
I know many a people that have received copy infringement notices from their ISP for torrenting or downloading GoT.

Do it at your own peril.

I wonder how the kopimism bibel will look like.... the only thing I think I know about it is that it probably will come in a PDF-format. ;D

I havn't read so much about this new 'religion' yet, so I think I have to come back to this thread later on. Is there much talking about this outside the swedish boarders? Because it sure doesn't seem to be so much talking about it over here. ~ [which I find a little weird, lol].
