p2pnet.net News:- Teaching kids how to copy. Poster campaigns in schools, and a PirateBay for kids. The most brilliant idea’s are often generated at the dinner table.

A quote from the Wired article about how piracy divides Sweden:

Pirate Bay’s Peter is dining with a crew of pirates from all over Europe. Over tabbouleh and sausage, the talk turns to strategy: how to create media events, awareness campaigns, educational programs to let people know that piracy isn’t about free movies — it’s about clearing the way for culture to progress.

Peter talks about expanding the Pirate Bay beyond the current 25-language translation. He turns to me, with bright eyes: “We want to make a Pirate Bay for kids!”

Sebastian Gjerding of Denmark’s Piratgruppen warms to the idea, and starts talking about designing a poster to hang in schools, teaching children how to share files. The pirates bandy about names for the campaign and seem, for the moment, to settle on “iCopy.”

The article further covers the current situation is Sweden, the rise of the Pirate Party, abd the battle over piracy.

Wired quotes Attorney Monique Wadsted, the MPAA’s representative in Sweden:

“It’s become a copyright haven, a territory where you spread everything without fear of prosecution.” She continues: “Nobody has ever presented a good argument why this should be free…. They like to talk about music; they have a problem with (talking about) movies, because movies cost a lot to make.”
