The right to be free
,----[ Quote ]
| Everybody knows, that DRM is bad. Also everybody knows, that Open Source is
| just a compromise and a stage in transition to a close-to-ideal system, which
| Free Software is. The free culture advocates have written dozens of books,
| heaps of articles and hundreds and thousands of blog entries showing the
| sense of standing against the law, organizations and corporations who bound
| (or try to put boundaries) on our freedom. Also stacks and heaps of text has
| been produced showing why should we boycott “bad” products designed by the
| aforementioned villains, the products being designed to achieve one obvious
| goal : to maximize profit, regardless of the consumer’s good.

DRM licensing group presses on with plan to plug analog hole
,----[ Quote ]
| The AACS-LA plans to phase out analog output of Blu-ray and other
| AACS-protected content over the next few years. The move is ostensibly to
| prevent pirating, but it seems more likely to just cause headaches for
| legitimate consumers.

Into the DTV era, with no broadcast flag mandate
,----[ Quote ]
| Just a few years ago, some broadcasters and movie studios argued that this
| transition couldn't happen without a DRM mandate -- a legal requirement for
| devices to obey the broadcast flag and apply DRM restrictions to free,
| over-the-air broadcasts. And they said they would hold up and obstruct this
| transition unless they got their way.

Lars Gustafsson: “Why my vote goes to the Pirate Party” (English translation of
today’s text)
,----[ Quote ]
| Lars Gustafsson is probably Sweden’s most profilic living writer. Since the
| late 1950’s he has produced a steady flow of poetry, novels and literary
| criticism. At the same time, he has until recently been active as professor
| of philosophy at the University of Texas. Now he’s back in Sweden and just
| started publishing himself on a blog. He has also received a long list of
| literary awards, most recently – only two days ago – the Selma Lagerlöf
| award.

Poll: Swedish pro file-sharing party gains support
