Anti-Copyright Political Faction Emerges in Sweden
Sweden is notorious for being one of the largest piracy centers in Europe. Now, a political group in the country is hoping to change laws that make file-sharing illegal. The group, called Piratpartiet (Piracy Party), hopes to uproot existing European copyright laws to create a legal file-sharing environment, while abolishing DRM protections and protecting user privacy. The group is beyond the bluster stage, and is currently validating signatures collected to officially register in Sweden. The group also hopes to garner four-percent of nationwide votes to gain a seat in Parliament. The move follows an initiative in France to construct a legalized file-sharing system, something that strays far from the thinking of major music labels and entertainment interests.
