How the Swedish Pirate Party Platform Backfires on Free Software
,----[ Quote ]
| The bullying of the copyright industry in Sweden inspired the launch of the
| first political party whose platform is to reduce copyright restrictions: the
| Pirate Party. Its platform includes the prohibition of Digital Restrictions
| Management, legalization of noncommercial sharing of published works, and
| shortening of copyright for commercial use to a five-year period. Five years
| after publication, any published work would go into the public domain.

RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| In their proposed response, the RIAA lawyers personally attacked The Free
| Software Foundation, Ray Beckerman (NewYorkCountryLawyer), and NYCL's
| blog, 'Recording Industry vs. The People'. The 9-page response (PDF) — 4
| pages longer than the document to which it was responding — termed the FSF an
| organization 'dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying,
| redistribution, and modifying computer programs', and accused the FSF of
| having an 'open and virulent bias against copyrights' and 'blatant bias'
| against the record companies.
