This is a big mess though. As you know, there's always these discussions in which people or companies that are criminal and what is good or bad for the music- and movie industry.
One thing is certain though, despite the new IPRED law here in Sweden along with the European Union, the downloading won't stop.

It was always going to be the case. The music and film companies have been way over the top and have the money to keep fighting (well for now they do) but at least they seem to have stopped going after the little guys. Way out of order if you ask me, whether or not you agree with downloading doing that sort of thing just alienates people

Got to agree with you there, in the UK there are on about making your ISP ban you if you download any copyrighted material, yet they let sites like that keep going. Mind you as my partners says the police can hack into them and get details of people who use those sort of sites.

yeah, that's ridiculous. if our government would put all the money they waste on going after torrent sites into going after osama bin laden, we would've caught him already. know your priorities, people!
