Share - it's fair!

Swedish politician Carl Schlyter has launched the site iwouldntsteal.net in response to music and media businesses large lobbying efforts on sharing media. Where media companies compares file sharing [of copyrighted material] with stealing. That comparison is fundamentally wrong, it's said on the site, since file sharing is based on someone creating a copy of media that he (or she) has bought. Another main concern of iwouldntsteal.net is that the lobbying groups are using their huge profits (they are very profitable) for lobbying, imposing laws on people that are totally unreasonable.

It's an interesting site on file sharing and piracy, complete with a pretty fun video.
