From Rick Falkvinge, an English-language writeup of a Swedish study:

61% of 15-25-year-olds in Sweden fileshare personally, and heavy sharers have gone up. Furthermore - industry copyright education campaigns create resentment, defiance and disrespect for the law in general.
So, is the time ripe yet for us to start pushing for a 14-year term, or do we wait a bit? I suggest we start contemplating it, however.
The most pirated bit of content at the moment appears to be game of thrones so I'm not sure what 14 years has to do with anything.
Thanks for sharing this David. It's as if hating copyright has become the new punk rock. I remember when the music industry created adverts in the 1980s that were anti-pirating in regards to cassette tapes. Without mix tapes I probably wouldn't know most of the music I love today. Then came mix CDs, then came Soulseek...
Oi!
