Swedish TV ‘copyfighters’ feature
p2pnet.net news:- According to The Pirate Bay admin Brokep, Swedish Television is planning a “real documentary” centring on copyfighters in Sweden.
“It looks like they actually got the funds to do it as well, and we’re working on a concept together with them,” says Brokep on his blog, going on.
Richard M. Stallman was in Gothenburg to talk about free software and todays copyright.
A very interesting talk, though he hasn’t thought everything through. For instance; the flat-rate system will not work, who wants to pay tax money for porn?
I had a quick talk with him afterwards – but he didn’t know about The Pirate Bay, PiratbyrÃ¥n or anything besides Piratpartiet. Can’t blame him, he’s a very busy person, it’s just weird that someone knows something about Piratpartiet and not the reason they could actually start.. and for someone thinking someone else is taking credit for what he did, it’s funny he actually gives all credit to Piratpartiet.
Not at all, incidentally, Brokep also says he’s heard the police officer in charge of the case against The Pirate Bay, “actually has _nothing_ to give the District Attorney. Still he’s pressing charges. Is that democracy or demo-crazy?”

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
