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

http://svt.se/nyheter/fortsatt-fildelning-trots-skarpt-lag (Swedish news report)
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!
