Pretty sure I'm going to go move to Romania.

Or was that a different joke? I'm not even sure any more.

I love progressive nations.

But on the other hand, fucked up countries like my Croatia are ok on this topic too, because nobody cares about piracy here in the first place...

It doesn't matter, haven't you heard? Piracy is now legal in Senegal!

What world are you dreaming that you live in? The us wants to step up internet regulation not back down on it.

Swiss take this issue makes a lot of sense.

The thing is Switzerland is a direct demacracy.
We do have elected representatives but in the end people can allways force a referendum on any law.
That's why lobbying the politics isn't as effectiv as in other countries.

To be fair, Switzerland has a lot of advantages when it comes to this sort of legislation. Consider the nature of exactly what is being downloaded in Switzerland, how much of it is produced in a foreign country? It is quite easy to declare piracy legal when the harms associated with said piracy are being felt in another place entirely.

Question: The article mentions "movies and music" specifically at times, but other times uses more generic terms in stating that "current copyright law considers the downloading of content for personal use as acceptable and legal".

Basically - does this only apply to music and movies, or any digital entertainment product (such as software)?

Yes it does


Isn't torrenting the only way to get caught anyway? I thought downloading from filehosting sites was considered safe
