Sitting in a café at Arlanda Airport waiting for my 8 o’ clock flight to Madrid. From there I’ll go to Bilbao. Got up at 04:00 this morning so I’m feeling very tired right now.
There was a snowstorm this Monday and Arlanda has been running at reduced speed earlier this week, but now everything is cleared up and my flight is on time.
In the news this morning I see that the “The Pirate Bay”-trial has been initiated. That’s nice. In my opinion it’s a disgrase that such a high profile case takes two years to initiate. No matter the outcome it will be a very interesting trial. I just hope that the Swedish courts does it’s job and realize that you cannot punish a BBS, no matter what it’s purpose is. If they choose to do so, then I’m guessing that there will be hundreds of cases made against search engines such as Google that actually store (cache) copyrighted materials.
For many artists, at least in Sweden, “TPB” is their primary distribution channel. Ruining that would destroy far more culture than it would generate.
Yeah yeah.. We’ll see what happens.
Other news in Sweden today is that the Government wants to institute laws for other countries, but I’m not even going to get started on that. It’s just embarrassing. Reality-check please.
Cheers
